Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
CLINICAL CASE: 78-years-old woman who attended our Emergency department with dyspnea, moderate epigastralgia, abdominal bloating, constipation and difficulty to pass gas; Laparotomy was performed to identify duodenal diverticulum in the third portion [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
A 34-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Intense abdominal pain, nausea, and fever are typical signs of diverticulitis and should be reported to a doctor right away. [wisegeekhealth.com]
The patient had been ill for five days with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, particularly in the right upper quadrant. From the [jamanetwork.com]
- Epigastric Pain
A 34-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical History A 50-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with sudden onset epigastric pain and vomiting. The patient revealed tenderness and localized peritonitis in the epigastric region. [eurorad.org]
It has been on the bottom differential for chronic epigastric pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, and hyporexia, yet, almost 90% are asymptomatic. [hindawi.com]
While the vast majority of patients are asymptomatic, patients with diverticulitis usually present with epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. [radiopaedia.org]

- Melena
We report a 51-year-old man who presented with melena after NSAID intake; the diverticulum was excised surgically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complicated duodenal diverticulum was the only possible cause of symptoms-abdominal pain, fever and chills, melena, vomiting-in 18 patients. [link.springer.com]
Full Text A 67-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with a recent history of melena and progressive fatigue. [elsevier.es]
The patient reported developing melena 1 week before presentation. She denied any hematemesis, hematochezia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, or chest pain. [journals.lww.com]
- Acute Abdomen
An elderly female was admitted to our hospital with an acute abdomen. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed retroperitoneal air around the duodenum and right kidney. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A 57-year-old woman underwent an emergent laparotomy because of acute abdomen, and a diversion operation was performed for a duodenal diverticulum perforation along with Cushing syndrome. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
Case Report: Here, we present a case of a 70 year old, male patient who was admitted with acute abdomen and intra-operatively diagnosed as perforated duodenal diverticulum. [casereports.in]
In fact, it is misdiagnosed in a lot of cases, and its symptoms are attributed to other causes of acute abdomen. Treatment of the perforated DD traditionally used to be surgical. [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]
- Dyspepsia
A 34-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Be cautious about recommending surgery for patients who have a diverticulum and vague GI symptoms (eg, dyspepsia). Click here for Patient Education [merckmanuals.com]
91 year-old woman with dyspepsia, anemia and occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper endoscopy demonstrated duodenitis, deformity of the bulb suggesting prior ulcer disease, and small diverticula. [endoatlas.com]
Skin
- Ulcer
Initial gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed ulceration of the diverticulum with no active bleeding; nevertheless the ulceration was presumed to be the source of the tarry stool. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These are true diverticula and are usually secondary to duodenal or periduodenal inflammation, such as from previous ulcer disease. [radiopaedia.org]

Workup
This report focuses on the significance of rare congenital anomalies of the duodenum (e.g., duplication cyst, intraluminal diverticulum) during the diagnostic workup of recurrent pancreatitis in children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Laboratory workup showed leukocytosis of 17,200 with 86% left shift; serum liver and pancreatic function tests were normal. [hindawi.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]
Treatment
Herein, we report two cases of perforated duodenal diverticulum, one case managed with surgical treatment and one with conservative treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She mentioned a medical history of Hashimoto disease under treatment. [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]
Prognosis
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]
Treatment and prognosis Complications Potential complications include 2, 3 duodenal diverticulitis hemorrhage perforation abscess formation biliary duct obstruction - Lemmel syndrome The major consideration and mimic of a duodenal diverticulum is that [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis The prognosis is good even with complications. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Conclusions: For elderly patient with recurrent acute pancreatitis without obvious etiology, ruling out a periampullary diverticulum as an etiology is worthwhile before making a diagnosis of idiopathic acute pancreatitis. [shmabstracts.com]
Conclusions :Anatomic causes of pancreatitis must be considered in the diagnosis of the etiology of acute pancreatitis. [pancreas.imedpub.com]
Though its exact etiology is not clear, diverticulum of duodenum usually occurs at weak spots in duodenal walls near the major and minor duodenal papillae. [pulsus.com]
Obstruction of the diverticulum with a food bezoar can be considered as an important clinical clue of the etiological role of the diverticulum in pancreatobiliary disease development. [muni.cz]
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]

In general, if you have diverticulosis but you’re not having a diverticulitis episode, a diet high in fiber will help prevent future flare-ups. [healthline.com]
Prevention To help prevent diverticulitis: Exercise regularly. Exercise promotes normal bowel function and reduces pressure inside your colon. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes on most days. Eat more fiber. [mayoclinic.org]
