ABSTRACT

Jejunal diverticular disease is a very uncommon pathology often asymptomatic. Associated complications appear in less than 30% of patients and they can present as diverticulitis, refractary inflammation, obstruction, hemorrhage, perforation or intraabdominal abscess formation. Clinical manifestations are usually unspecific and high suspicion index is required to reach the diagnosis. Treatment of complications includes volume replacement, transfusions, antibiotic therapy, percutaneous drainage or surgical intervention. We present a retrospective observational study of the cases treated in our hospital between 2007 and 2016.
