Although the bladder diverticula in children are seen commonly which is association with infravesical obstruction or neurogenic bladder function, the case of giant congenital bladder diverticula are rare. In this paper, an 11 years old boy with giant bladder diverticula presenting urinary infections is evaluated in terms of diagnosis and management by current literature.

Congenital left ventricular diverticula are a rare cause of sudden cardiac death. We describe the first reported case of ventricular fibrillation in association with congenital diverticula of the heart. The diagnosis of left ventricular diverticula was made by cardiac catheterization and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment was initiated with anti-arrhythmic and anticoagulant drug...

Introduction Though the exact etiology is not clear, the prevalence of duodenal diverticula increases with age and is found in less than 5% of post-mortem examinations [1]. Progressive weakening of the intestinal smooth muscles and increase in intraduodenal pressure is said to be the reason for this out pouching of the duodenum [2]. Most (70-75%) of duodenal diverticula occur in the periampulla...

INTRODUCTION Perforations of jejunal diverticula are uncommon and repeated symptomatic perforations have been reported only twice before in the literature. This is the first case report of recurrent perforation of a jejunal diverticulum to be successfully managed non-operatively. CASE PRESENTATION We report a recurrent perforation of a jejunal diverticulum in an 87-year-old Caucasian man who ...

GASTRIC DIVERTICULA ON THE GREATER CURVATURE (Abstract): Gastric diverticula are extremely rare in the surgical pathology and is usually asymptomatic. Their discovery is in most cases incidentally, on radiographic examination or autopsy. The most frequent localization is on the posterior wall of the cardia and on the lesser curvature of the stomach. Symptomatic gastric diverticula are rare, mai...

Jejunal and ileal diverticula are rare in adults. Duodenal diverticula are five times more prevalent than jejunoileal diverticula. Most patients are asymptomatic. However, chronic symptoms including intermittent abdominal pain, flatulence, diarrhea and constipation are seen in 10%-30% of patients. Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in South Korea and here we report a case of early ...

Background. Duodenum is the second most common site of diverticula after the colon. Diagnosis of duodenal diverticula is incidental and found during other therapeutic procedures. In 90% of cases, they are asymptomatic, and less than 10% develop clinical symptoms. The difficulty to ascertain the true incidence of duodenal diverticula demanded for the present study to elucidate the prevalence of ...
