RESUMO
Duodenal diverticula are an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Until recently, it was primarily managed with surgery, but advances in the field of endoscopy have made management increasingly less invasive. We report a case of duodenal diverticular bleeding that was endoscopically managed, and review the literature about the various endoscopic therapies thus far described.

La hemorragia diverticular duodenal es una causa infrecuente de hemorragia digestiva alta. Hasta hace unos años su manejo era eminentemente quirúrgico, pero con los avances en el campo de la endoscopia el tratamiento tiende a ser cada vez menos invasivo. Se presenta el caso de una hemorragia diverticular duodenal tratada endoscópicamente y se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre las diferentes terapias endoscópicas descritas hasta la fecha (AU)
