ABSTRACT
Both heterotaxia and intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) are uncommon congenital anomalies. Heterotaxia is a group of situs anomalies and IDD is a type of duodenal atresia. Heterotaxia is commonly associated with intraabdominal abnormalities causing intestinal obstruction, but heterotaxia with IDD is extremely rare. Herein we report a case of 21-year-old female who presented with symptoms of duodenal obstruction due to IDD associated with heterotaxia. This is the second case found as a result of a search through PubMed. We first used 3-dimentional virtual computed tomograph endoscopy for making the diagnosis and the treatment plan of this patient.
