The case history of a 56-year-old woman with an acute abdomen is presented. Laboratory data, a plain abdominal X-ray and ultrasound examination provided no clues for a definite diagnosis. Surprisingly, a duodenal diverticulitis was found at operation. Some aspects and complications of duodenal diverticula are discussed.

Ten cases of caecal diverticulitis are reviewed. Caecal diverticulitis is frequently diagnosed as appendicitis pre‐operatively and is difficult to distinguish from carcinoma or inflammatory bowel disease intra‐operatively. The average age of presentation is younger than that of left‐sided colonic diverticulitis.
