A Case of Perforated Duodenal Diverticular Stone

Nontraumatic surgical emergencies constitute a major bulk of general surgical practice. Most of the cases seen fall under routine, but now and then, a surgeon or emergency physician is faced with an unusual diagnosis or a rarer presentation of a usual diagnosis. Sharing among peers their experiences with these outliers of practice helps spread knowledge and increases the experience pool. We share our experience of a 66-year-old female who presented to our emergency with upper abdominal pain of one-day duration.
