Abstract

A case of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum associated with partial situs inversus in a 15 year-old girl is reported. Etiopathogenicity is discussed. The pathological characteristics explain that surgery associated with upper digestive endoscopy had to be performed and why endoscopic excision was not possible in this case.
