Abstract

Jejunal diverticula are rare and mostly asymptomatic. However, they may lead to chronic non-specific abdominal symptoms such as diarrhea, chronic abdominal pain, bloating or rarely, can present as small bowel perforation. In case of perforation, the recommended treatment is resection and anastomosis. Such a rare case was encountered and managed successfully.
