Downloads
Introduction: Duodenal and jejunal diverticulosis are relatively rare conditions compared to colonic diverticulosis.
Case presentation: 70-year-old lady, complained of generalized abdominal pain for 3 days, tender all over her abdomen, CT scan showed pneumoperitoneum, laparotomy done for her showed multiple small bowel diverticula.
Clinical discussion: Duodenal diverticula are more common than jejunal diverticula and are usually asymptomatic. However, they can lead to life-threatening complications [6].
Conclusion: While duodenal and jejunal diverticulosis can still cause significant symptoms and complications. Further research is needed to better understand the causes and optimal management of these conditions.
