Notes
The promontorium duodeni is a localized bulging along the medial wall of the middle part of the pars descendens duodeni that results in a slight widening of the duodenal lumen. It serves as an orientation point in radiology to localize the papilla duodeni major (Musil et al. 2019 Bosn J Basic Med Sci 19:1-13).
