Abstract
Duodenal diverticula are a rare, usually asymptomatic clinical condition. When a complication arises clinical suspicion is key for the diagnosis. On occasion these patients receive a delayed diagnosis and undergo inadequate medical therapy. We report the case of a patient with evidence of duodenal diverticulitis in association with gallbladder inflammation by contiguity, as well as his diagnosis and management.
