Diverticula of the duodenum occur in approximately 2% to 5% of individuals who have had upper gastrointestinal (GI) series; the majority of these patients are asymptomatic. These diverticula occasionally result in the obstruction of the biliary and pancreatic ducts, which leads to jaundice and pancreatitis. Other complications such as hemorrhage, perforation, sepsis, and death can occur. This article reports a case of upper GI bleeding in a patient who was found to have duodenal diverticula by upper GI series and endoscopy. Diverticulectomy was performed, and microscopic examination of the specimen showed dilated blood vessel suggestive of angiodysplasia.
十二指肠憩室在接受上消化道（GI）造影检查的个体中发生率约为2%至5%；这些患者大多数无症状。这些憩室偶尔会导致胆管和胰管梗阻，进而引发黄疸和胰腺炎。还可能发生其他并发症，如出血、穿孔、败血症和死亡。本文报告了一例上消化道出血患者，该患者经上消化道造影和内镜检查发现有十二指肠憩室。实施了憩室切除术，对标本进行显微镜检查显示血管扩张，提示血管发育异常。
