Bleeding from a Giant Duodenal Diverticulum

Acute gastrointestineal bleeding is an emergency case. With the advance of endoscopic technique, the necessity for surgical intervention of upper gastrointestineal bleeding has been reduced to 6 % to 10 %. However, gastrointestineal bleeding remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Duodenal diverticula is thought to be uncommon and few cases of
bleeding from a duodenal diverticulum have been reported. Most were diagnosed and managed by angiography or surgery. In this study, we present a case with bleeding from a
giant duodenal diverticulum, diagnosed by enteroclisis and successfully treated with surgery.
