A RARE CASE OF PERFORATED JEJUNAL DIVERTICULOSIS: CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Jejunal diverticula are uncommon, acquired lesions which are usually asymptomatic. When symptomatic they present with chronic non-specific symptoms like pain, nausea, malnutrition and sometimes with acute presentation like gastrointestinal hemorrhage, peritonitis and obstruction. While chronic pain and malabsorption occurs in 40% of cases, perforation occurs only in 2.3-6.4% of all diverticula bearing patients.
