Sumario:We report an unusual case of small bowel obstruction caused by a large enterolith released from small bowel diverticulitis in a 81-year-old patient with occult massive Diffuse Jejuno-Ileal Diverticulosis (DJID). DJID is a rare condition whose symptoms are usually absent or non-specific. In most cases, the diagnosis of DJID is incidentally made or consecutive to secondary complications comprising obstruction, haemorrhage, diverticulitis and perforation. We shortly review the clinical and imaging features and complications of DJID.
