The authors report the case of a patient with an unusually high number of diverticular formations (at least five), distributed along the entire duodenal tract. Following a review of the literature on this subject, the authors focus on the lack of symptoms manifested by duodenal diverticula, even if they are numerous and large in size, and on the extremely rare reports of multiple diverticula, as in this case.

After an examination of the anatomopathological and clinical features of duodenal diverticula, the various ancillary pathologies are analysed as are the complications linked to the diverticulum itself. A meticulous review of the literature and several personal surgical cases confirms the view that only those diverticula causing evident symptoms or complications should be treated. The various surgical techniques selected as appropriate for the different cases are also described.
