We report the case of a previously well 89-years-old-healthy man who presented at least four episodes of intermittent obstructive jaundice during the eight months prior to admission in our Hospital. Studies revealed a duodenal diverticulum arising near of the ampulla of Vater. We believed the diverticulum was responsible for the intermittent obstructive jaundice and we performed a choledochoduodenostomy. He had no postoperative complications and was discharged from the hospital asymptomatic. This case documents an uncommon presentation of this disease generally asymptomatic with intermittent obstructive jaundice episodes.

Se presenta el caso de un varón de 89 años sin antecedentes de interés que presentó al menos cuatro episodios de ictericia obstructiva autolimitada consecutivos en el trascurso de ocho meses, requiriendo ingreso hospitalario en los dos últimos, objetivándose finalmente como causa de los mismos la presencia de un divertículo duodenal periampular por lo que fue intervenido quirúrgicamente, lo que resolvió de forma definitiva el cuadro. Se considera de interés esta forma inusual de presentación de esta patología generalmente asintomática, con episodios intermitentes de ictericia obstructiva (AU)
