A case of Appendicular Diverticulum

Diverticular disease of the alimentary tract is not an uncommon entity, the commonest site being the colon. It can occur at other sites extending from the pharynx to the rectum. However, the vermiform appendix is a rare site for the occurrence of diverticular disease. The incidence is known to be in the range of 0.004 to 0.6.1, 3 We here present one such rare occurrence of a solitary appendicular diverticulum in a 24 yr lady.
