They usually present with obstruction; presentation with GI bleeding is very rare. We report a 51-year-old man who presented with melena after NSAID intake; the diverticulum was excised surgically.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Type A patients presented with papillae near the diverticulum or in its margin. In this type, 36 patients (25%) presented with diverticulitis, bleeding, perforation or cholelithiasis, and were treated surgically.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A few patients have chronic postprandial (after eating) abdominal pain or dyspepsia (reflux) caused by a duodenal diverticulum. Diagnosis Diverticula of the duodenum are found in 20 percent of upper gastrointestinal series (an X-ray study).[healthcentral.com]
Majority of patients present with acute onset epigastric or rightupperquadrantpain associated with nausea and vomiting. As in our case a provisional diagnosis of acute cholecystitis was made based on clinical scenario of the patient.[casereports.in]

We report a 45-year-old woman, with a five days history of high fever along with epigastric and periumbilicalpain. Physical examination revealed right upper and lower quadrant tenderness with peritoneal signs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because of a history of behavioralproblems associated with intellectual impairment, including a compulsion to swallow coins during childhood, an abdominal radiograph was performed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient was given nil per mouth while workup for abdominal pain was started. His pancreatic enzymes were found to be elevated and a subsequent CT scan showed an irregular pancreatic outline consistent with pancreatitis.[wjgnet.com]
Initial workup suggested leucocytosis (WBC 11000 K/uL), elevate lipase level (204 U/L) with normal total bilirubin (0.4 mg/dL) and LFTs. An abdominal ultrasound showed dilated CBD (9 mm) without evidence of gallstone.[shmabstracts.com]
Diagnostic workup is usually completed in the intensive care setting. Most patients stop bleeding, allowing elective surgery. Mesenteric angiography with infusion of vasoconstrictors can be used in persistent hemorrhage.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Diagnostic workup, including laboratory data, was unremarkable. A stress test was normal.[acgcasereports.gi.org]
Under general anesthesia, a pneumoperitoneum was created. Four trocars were inserted into the peritoneal cavity for this intervention.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A rare case involving massive pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumoperitoneum following argon plasma coagulation treatment for DDB is presented. A short discussion of the optimal endoscopic therapy for this rare disease is provided.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Herein, we report two cases of perforated duodenal diverticulum, one case managed with surgical treatment and one with conservative treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A case of this association is presented, in which the surgical treatment was a biliary-enteric bypass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DATA EXTRACTION: Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, radiologic findings, treatment, and outcomes were obtained.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In combination with conservative treatment, this technique can be a challenging alternative to surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical treatment is the most frequently performed approach.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, it remains unclear whether excision of the diverticulum is preferred to biliodigestive anastomosis from the point of view of long-term prognosis. Subsequent surveillance is necessary.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This accounts for earlier diagnosis, more favorable prognosis and the possibility of treatment by minimally invasive techniques in ampullary tumors.[revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]

The prognosis is better than for patients with adenocarcinomas, with overall 5-year survival rates 50 to 75 per cent.[ots1.narod.ru]
Diagnosis is not easily made on ultrasonography, however, as our case illustrates, it should be suspected in the abscence of more common etiologies.[sages.org]
Duodenal diverticuli are acquired false diverticuli; the etiology is unknown. Most are periampullary.[onlinejets.org]
The exact etiology is not clear; however, it might be the end result of disordered duodenal motility.[wjgnet.com]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Duodenal diverticula are approximately 5 times more common than jejunoileal diverticula. The actual incidence of both types of diverticula is not known because these lesions are usually asymptomatic.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology Although extraluminal duodenal diverticula are rare in young patients, their frequency increases with age. There is no sex predilection.[ots1.narod.ru]
Pathophysiology The cause of this condition is not known. It is believed to develop as the result of abnormalities in peristalsis, intestinal dyskinesis, and high segmental intraluminal pressures.[emedicine.medscape.com]

He had hypertension and dyslipidemia for several years, and was taking aspirin to prevent heart disease. CT and colonoscopy revealed a diverticulum in the third portion of the duodenum, rectal polyps, and internal hemorrhoids.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After resection of the tumor, a stent is placed in the pancreatic duct, which will prevent obstruction of the outlet of pancreatic juice that leads to acute pancreatitis, but before that we injected around 2-3 mL of methylen blue solution to facilitate[revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]

There are a few case reports of successful endoscopic treatment where the diverticulum is unroofed to prevent food from collecting.[merckmanuals.com]
A bulky stool helps prevent this. Plant fiber, especially the insoluble fiber, is the best. These are the fibers that do not produce colon gas. The easiest to take are wheat bran, amaranth, barley and others as listed in Fiber Content of Foods .[gicare.com]
