ERCP Features and Outcome in Patients with Periampullary Duodenal Diverticulum

Background. Although periampullary diverticulum is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally in patients during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), it may lead to post-ERCP morbidity. We compared baseline characteristics and clinical data as well as ERCP results in patients with and without periampullary diverticulum. Methods. Clinical, laboratory, and ERCP data of 780...

Duodenal diverticulum mimicking duodenal stromal tumor.

A patient with duodenal diverticulitis who was initially misdiagnosed with stromal tumor of the duodenum is presented. This case is of interest because it illustrates difficulties in the interpretation of auxiliary investigations and the choice of the best treatment option. US and CT images revealed two large ovoid masses of fluid density in the duodenal wall which may have suggested stromal tu...

Proposed Classification of Periampullary Diverticulum and its Role on Performing ERCP and Post ERCP Complication

Introduction: Duodenal diverticula are pouches of the mucosa, submucosa, and scattered muscle cells that extend through the intestinal wall. In this study, we aimed to classify the papilla position according to presence of PAD and evaluate the impact of papilla position on the success rate and post ERCP complication in the patients with PAD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on...
