Duodenal Diverticula are bulging pouch-like herniations (diverticula) in the wall of the duodenum (part of the small intestine).
Duodenal diverticula are acquired outpouchings of the mucosa and submucosa, 90 percent of which are on the medial aspect of the duodenum.
Diverticula are not seen in the first portion of the duodenum, where diverticular configurations are due to scarring by peptic ulceration or cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder).
