ABSTRACT

Duodenal diverticulum was described by Chomel in 1710, and in 1951 Patterson and Bromberg described the first case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding from duodenal diverticulum. The incidence is variable depending on the age of the patient and the diagnostic method. Radiography studies of the digestive tract diagnose from 1 to 5% diverticular disease of the duodenum, and in autopsy series, the incidence is 15 to 20%. Jejunal or ileal hemorrhage accounts for between 5 and 30% of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. In this study, two cases are presented of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in which different tools were used for diagnosis and treatment.
