Obstructive jaundice is a frequent for patients to come to emergency services. Lemmel’s syndrome is an obstructive biliary syndrome secondary to a papillary duodenal diverticulum for which other causes of obstructive jaundice have been ruled out. We describe a case of obstructive jaundice in an 84-year-old patient who underwent magnetic resonance imaging and biliopancreatic endosonography to rule out biliary lithiasis. Subsequently, the patient underwent ERCP where the papillary diverticulum was evident and without choledocholithiasis. A papillotomy was performed. Afterwards, the patient’s clinical evolution was favorable.
