Highlights
In 1934, the German physician Gerhard Lemmel described a condition where periampullary duodenal diverticuli caused obstructive jaundice in the absence of cholelithiasis, biliary strictures or neoplasms [1]
The eponym Lemmel syndrome is referred to when a periampullary diverticulum exerts mechanical compression on the common bile duct causing obstructive jaundice
The diagnoses of Lemmel syndrome were made during multidisciplinary team discussions when the imaging failed to show cholelithiasis, masses or strictures as the cause for distal biliary obstruction in the presence of periampullary diverticula observed in the side-viewing endoscopy
Summary
Endoscopic management of Lemmel syndrome: a rare, benign cause of obstructive jaundice.
