(D) Sagittal CECT with oral water demonstrates the relation of left renal vein (dotted arrow) and third part of duodenum (arrowhead) at the angle of aorta and SMA (solid arrow).
Large duodenal diverticulum in a 77-yearold man. CT scan obtained with oral and intravenous contrast material shows two “duodenal lumina.” The true lumen is lateral to the diverticulum (straight arrow). The diverticulum contains an air-fluid level and causes medial displacement of the pancreatic head (curved arrow). Duodenal diverticula are common findings on abdominal CT scans.
CT scan shows the small bowel in the right side of the abdomen and the colon in the left side. The duodenum does not cross the midline between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. The superior mesenteric artery is to the right of the superior mesenteric vein (arrow) rather than in its typical location to the left
a) Diagram illustrates Lecco's theory of the development of annular pancreas, in which the left ventral bud regresses and the right ventral bud adheres to the duodenal wall and becomes stretched and elongated with rotation. (b) Diagram illustrates Baldwin's theory of the development of annular pancreas, in which the left ventral bud persists and migrates around the duodenum in opposite directions to fuse with the dorsal pancreatic bud.

Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in two different patients. Axial contrast-enhanced CT images show two enhancing lesions (arrows) arising from the third portion of the duodenum (a) and the inferior duodenal flexure (b). Also note the central areas of low attenuation, suggesting necrosis

Liver metastases are present (black arrow). Upper endoscopy (b) shows a soft, irregular mass protruding from the duodenum wall.

There is an infiltrative, circumferential, and intermediate attenuation mass involving the second and third portions of the duodenum. The patient was administered oral contrast, this mass is not obstructing the gastroduodenal outflow. There is a smaller soft tissue mass which extends from the duodenal mass into the right mid abdominal mesentery. There is obstruction of the common bile duct by the duodenal mass, with dilation of the gallbladder. No adenopathy or disease elsewhere in the abdomen or pelvis is present.
