Abstract
- Duodenal diverticula are common disease entities occurring in up to 25% of the healthy population. Duodenal diverticular perforation is a rare but fatal complication. Although the main treatment for duodenal diverticular perforation is surgery, conservative treatment can be an option for selected patients. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman with a perforated duodenal diverticulum successfully managed with conservative treatment with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of abscesses.
