Enterolith ileus due to jejunal diverticulosis.
American Journal of Surgery 2010 April
Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare malformation that is often asymptomatic. Complications might be similar to those occurring in large-bowel diverticula but also include a much more particular event: intestinal obstruction due to migration and impaction of enterolith formed inside diverticula. This is a very uncommon entity; diagnosis and management are thus often delayed. Mostly surgical exploration is necessary because obstruction symptoms are unresponsive to medical treatment. The authors report a new case of enterolith ileus in a 74-year-old man, due to jejunal diverticulosis, and its successful surgical management in emergency. Only 39 similar cases have ever been reported in the literature.
