Lemmel syndrome involves a periampullary duodenal diverticulum (PAD), a pouch-like outpouching near the ampulla of Vater, compressing the common bile duct. We describe a case of severe abdominal pain in a patient who had a large periampullary diverticulum, managed with surgical intervention after an initial failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). An elderly female patient in her early 90s arrived at the emergency department with severe cramping pain localized to the right upper quadrant of her abdomen, progressively intensifying over several weeks.

We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with jaundice but no evidence of choledocholithiasis or other alterations of the biliary tree except for a duodenal diverticulum. Lemmel's syndrome was diagnosed and an endoscopic sphincterotomy with stenting was performed. Lemmel's syndrome is a rare disease that must be considered as a cause of obstructive jaundice.

Introduction And Importance: One of the very rare causes of obstructive jaundice, Lemmel's syndrome, is caused due to biliary mechanical compression by a juxtapapillary diverticulum. It is defined as obstructive jaundice due to juxtapapillary diverticulum in the absence of cholelithiasis, periampullary tumours, or other detectable obstacles. It is an extremely rare syndrome; therefore, studies need to be done for proper diagnosis and management.
