Duodenal diverticulosis (DD) is a rare disease in children, and its etiology is unknown. Here, we report a 13-year-old boy with severe abdominal pain. A diagnosis of DD was made based on clinical and image findings. He responds to analgesic, antibiotic and nutritional treatment. The early identification of child with DD as potential cause of severe abdominal pain with pancreatitis is important - because delayed diagnosis might lead to irreversible consequences - to avoid morbidity and mortality, and unnecessary surgery.
十二指肠憩室病（DD）在儿童中是一种罕见疾病，其病因尚不清楚。在此，我们报告一名13岁严重腹痛男孩。根据临床和影像学检查结果确诊为DD。他对止痛、抗生素及营养治疗有反应。早期识别患有DD的儿童是严重腹痛伴胰腺炎的潜在病因很重要——因为延迟诊断可能导致不可逆转的后果——以避免发病和死亡，以及不必要的手术。
