Perforated jejuneal diverticulosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acquired diverticula of the small intestine are rare and, in most patients, asymptomatic. They may come to the doctor’s attention incidentally, during radiographic examination or under a laparotomy performed for other reasons, or they may cause vague and unspecific chronic symptoms, or acute symptoms due to the occurrence of complications, such as intestinal occlusion, haemorrhage or perforation. The diagnosis is generally given during surgery. The aim of this work is to describe a case of jejunal diverticulosis complicated by the perforation of the diverticulum and review the literature on the subject, in order to draw up a set of treatment guidelines.
