This condition should be considered a rare complication of a duodenal diverticulum and an unusual cause of obstructive jaundice. Because of its infrequent occurrence and non-specific clinical presentation, Lemmel syndrome can mimic other conditions. We herein report the clinical and imaging findings (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) of a patient who presented with intermittent abdominal pain and jaundice. Large air-filled outpouching lesions of the duodenum compressed the biliary duct, resulting in upstream biliary ductal dilatation that led to the diagnosis of Lemmel syndrome.MedicineLemmel syndrome, a rare cause of obstructive jaundice by periampullary duodenal diverticulum: Case report and review of the literatureArticleSCOPUS10.25259/JCIS_9_20232-s2.0-8516135684921565597
