Diverticular disease of the small bowel: a rare cause of the duodenojejunal flexure obstruction (a case report)

The small bowel is the least common site for diverticula in the entire gastrointestinal tract. Chronic upper intestinal obstruction due to diverticula is very rare. We report a case of multiple small bowel diverticula causing mechanical obstruction of the duodenojejunal flexure.
