Description
Maciej Rybicki and colleagues review a rare injury: a torn duodenal diverticulum after blunt trauma. The duodenum can hide a small pouch that bursts when the abdomen is struck, with vague symptoms delaying diagnosis. Their 2026 systematic review gathers every confirmed case reported since nineteen sixty.
Just twenty-one cases qualified, mostly from road crashes and falls from height. Pain was nearly universal, and CT scans caught the perforation in every patient scanned. Surgeons removed the pouch in almost all cases, usually with drainage. Four patients died, underlining why the authors urge early scanning and prompt surgery.
