[Acute pancreatitis caused by an intraluminal duodenal diverticulum].

Intraluminal duodenal diverticula are a rare congenital disorders, which usually become symptomatic in adults. In our case, recurrent pancreatitis was caused by an intraluminal duodenal diverticulum in a 26 year old woman. The diagnosis was established by CT scan and upper gastroduodenal endoscopy. The intraluminal diverticulum was resected after duodenotomy. In addition, annular pancreas was found during laparotomy. In this case, an intraluminal duodenal diverticulum caused acute pancreatitis and was associated with another anatomical abnormality.
