description Despite its first identification in 1885, intraluminal duodenal diverticulum remains a rare entity and only a few case reports are found in the literature. Its diagnosis is almost always delayed due to the lack of specific symptoms and to the very vague presentation consisting of mild epigastric discomfort. However, with the aid of new diagnostic modalities and imaging, it has become easier to diagnose this entity when its symptoms persist. Finally, it can remain undiagnosed in asymptomatic patients.
