Abstract
Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum is a rare entity that may cause recurrent pancreatitis. We report a case of a 36-year-old female admitted with etiologically unclear, recurrent pancreatitis. Radiographic study and endoscopy revealed a sac-like structure of the second portion of the duodenum near the minor duodenal papilla. Endoscopic diverticulotomy was successfully performed. No complications were observed and the patient was discharged home a day later. After 62-month follow-up, the patient was active and without symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of recurrent pancreatitis caused by intraluminal duodenal diverticulum near the minor duodenal papilla, treated with endoscopic diverticulotomy performed from the apex to the base of the diverticulum.
