Abstract

Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) is a very rare entity in the neonate. We present an unusual case in which the diverticulum was located in the first portion of the duodenum. Although the infant had symptoms similar to hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, an IDD was suspected preoperatively from upper gastrointestinal radiography. Total excision of the diverticulum was performed and the patient has been well. The microscopic appearance of the resected specimen revealed normal duodenal mucosa lining the inside and outside of the sac.
