Abstract
Duodenal diverticula are present in up to 20 per cent of the population but few patients require surgery for acute complications. Perforation is the rarest of these complications; only 101 affected patients have been reported in the world literature. These reports of perforated duodenal diverticulum are reviewed and strategies for the diagnosis and management of this unusual condition are discussed.Entities:
