Duodenal diverticulosis (DD) is a rare disease in children, and its etiology is unknown. Here, we report a 13-year-old boy with severe abdominal pain.

The early identification of child with DD as potential cause of severe abdominal pain with pancreatitis is important - because delayed diagnosis might lead to irreversible consequences - to avoid morbidity and mortality, and unnecessary surgery.
