An intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) and a partial pancreas divisum were diagnosed in a 22-year-old man who exhibited recurrent attacks of acute pancreatitis. Resection of the diverticulum resulted in a complete disappearance of symptoms. The possible etiological relationship between IDD and recurrent acute pancreatitis is discussed.
