ABSTRACT

The diverticular disease is a very common entity in developed countries. Symptomatic diverticulosis can lead to serious complications that require medical and surgical interventions. With the increasing number of elderly and the advent of new methods of diagnosis, the prevalence of diverticular disease has increased in recent years. Diverticula can be found throughout the colon but are most common in the sigmoid, the highest incidence of diverticula on this site bowel, is attributed to the fact that many vessels are right on this intestinal section and there is greater intraluminal pressure. When there diverticular bleeding usually presents with painless hematochezia. Diverticulitis occurs with fever and crampy abdominal pain, usually in the left lower quadrant. There may be diarrhea, constipation and vomiting. If the right side is affected, diverticulitis can mimic the signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis.
