ABSTRACT
The duodenal diverticular disease is considered within surgery of digestive tracts as
unusual. The less frequent complication referred in medical literature is the acute
perforation and when it occurs always will be carried out the emergency surgical
treatment. It is polemic to arrive to a general consensus directing the diagnostic
methodology due to its atypical way of presentation. The abdominal tomography
has been very useful in diagnosis of this entity. Authors report high mortality rates
(25-30 %) in general originated by the diagnostic difficulty in face of this disease. A
new case of perforated duodenal diverticulum of a female sex patient aged 60. The
surgical technique used in this opportunity was the duodenal exclusion and the
retroperitoneal drainage.
