Acute Abdomen in a 91-Year-Old Male due to Perforated Jejunal Diverticulitis.
Case Reports in Gastroenterology 2020 September
Non-Meckel small intestine diverticular disease is a rare and mostly asymptomatic condition. However, rare cases of acute and emergent complications bear a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 91-year-old male that presented with an acute abdomen due to perforated jejunal diverticulitis. A review of the literature and key points of the condition are depicted. Although jejunal diverticulosis is rare, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially in the elderly with signs of ambiguous abdominal pain and peritonitis.
