- Abstract
Jejunal diverticulitis is a rare disease that primarily affects the elderly. Clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific, a fact that complicates and delays the diagnosis. Computed tomography is very valuable in defining the diagnosis. The present report describes a case of jejunal diverticulosis complicated with acute perforated obstructive diverticulitis, and presents a brief discussion on jejunal diverticulitis and its complications.
