description | INTRODUCTION: Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare entity that presents a challenging diagnosis due to its vague and non-specific clinical presentations. 40 % of the patients remain asymptomatic until the development of complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of 84 years old female who presented to the hospital with vomiting and abdominal pain, found to have jejunal diverticulosis complicated by perforation in a CT scan. The patient underwent emergency expletory laparotomy with segmental intestinal resection and anastomosis. DISCUSSION: The incidence of jejunal diverticulosis ranges between 3 and 5 %, with most patients discovered incidentally. Therefore, medical or surgical treatment management depends on clinical presentation and complications that necessitate surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare entity that commonly affects the elderly with significant morbidity and mortality; it is an important clinical entity to consider when approaching patients with acute abdomen. |
