[Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticulum causing pancreatobiliary problems - case report and literature review]. / Juxtapapilární divertikl duodena jako prícina pankreatobiliárních potízí - kazuistika a prehled literatury.

UNLABELLED: Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula are reported as a potential cause of many pancreatobiliary diseases. However, data concerning this association is inconsistent and the role of the diverticulum is often underestimated or even denied in clinical practice. This case report and literature review is aimed at pointing out this problem.Obstruction of the diverticulum with a food bezoar can be considered as an important clinical clue of the etiological role of the diverticulum in pancreatobiliary disease development.Endoscopic sphincterotomy is considered to be the treatment of the first choice, with surgery (diverticulectomy and/or biliodigestive anastomosis) reserved for cases where the minimally invasive approach fails. KEY WORDS: juxtapapillary duodenal diverticulum obstructive jaundice acute pancreatitis endoscopic papilosphincterotomy biliodigestive anastomosis.
