Background:

the duodenum corresponds to the second location where the gastrointestinal diverticula are most frequently presented after the colon. Lemmel's syndrome, also known as intermittent obstructive jaundice, presence of duodenal diverticula near the papilla of Vater could favor the development of pancreatic biliary diseases.

Case report:

a 67-year-old female patient with an obstructive jaundice syndrome, without the presence of choledocholithiasis or other alteration of the biliary tree other than the presence of a duodenal diverticulum. For this symptomatology is referred to Gastroenterology consultation.

Conclusions:

Lemmel's syndrome is a rare pathology that must be taken into account as a cause of obstructive jaundice.
