ABSTRACT
Duodenal diverticuli are often asymptomatic and are occasionally found during the course of X-ray tests or autopsy. They are sometimes manifested in the form of symptoms related to a complication (hemorrhage, perforation, occlusion). The paper reports a case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by a duodenal diverticulum which was then successfully operated. The Authors affirm that in these cases the resection of the portion of the duodenum with the diverticulum (provided the papilla is not affected) is preferable to direct hemostasis or duodenocephalopancreatectomy.
