Presentation and Surgical Management of Duodenal Duplication in Adults

Figure 1

Representative images from the preoperative small bowel follow-through. There appeared to be marked abnormal dilation involving the duodenal C-loop. Of note, there was vigorous peristaltic activity involving this dilated loop although the peristaltic activity was disordered with a “to and from” movement of the barium and a marked delay in emptying into jejunum. The finding of peristaltic activity, although disordered, argued against the possibility of this being a duodenal diverticulum. (a) AP image. (b) Lateral image.
