Figure 1

(a & b) Computed Tomography of the abdomen, with PO contrast, showing the evidence of a duodenal diverticulum with contrast extravasation, surrounded by fat stranding and air pockets (arrow), suggestive of perforation ((a) axial; (b) coronal). (c) Gastrografin swallow fluoroscopy, upon follow-up, showing the presence of contrast within the diverticulum (arrow) and absence of any extravasation. (d) Enhanced CT scan with IV and PO contrast showing the diverticulum with absence of extravasation and minimal air pocket with fat stranding (arrow).
