Abstract

A Intraluminal Duodenal Diverticulum(IDD) is a rare congenital anomaly in adult, which presents as a mucosalpouch witinin the second portion of the duodenum and causes varying degrees of obstructive symptoms. The truepathogenesis of the lesion is still unknown, but it provably results from ballooning of acongenital duodenaldiaphragm with prolonged peristalsis. A pear-shaped intraluminal pouch resembling a barium-filled "wind sock" surrounded by a radiolucent halo, partially obstructing the duodenal lumen is the classic and diagnosticradiologic appearance. Proper identification of the papilla of Vater is important since this structure is oftenadjacnet ot the diverticulum. A case of IDD which occured in a 15-year-old boy with intermittent upper abdominalpain, nausea, and vomiting for 2 years is reported with review of the literatures.
