Although diverticular disease is common in the Western world, few patients who develop diverticulitis require surgery. The use of appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics in uncomplicated diverticulitis can be an effective treatment, avoiding the need for acute surgical intervention.

Jejunal diverticulitis is a rare clinical entity often overlooked by physicians as a cause for abdominal pain. Although diagnostic capabilities improved in recent years, there is little data about diverticular disease in the proximal small bowel. The aim of this study is to present the clinical course and management in a series of eight cases of ...

The term "diverticulitis" indicates the inflammation of a diverticulum or diverticula, which is accompanied by detectable or microscopical perforation. Diverticulitis is a common condition with an estimated incidence of 25%. At present, elective sigmoid resection is recommended after 2 episodes of uncomplicated diverticulitis to prevent the serious ...

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.

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.

Diverticulitis has long been known to affect the right colon, and in recent years, our understanding has evolved in regard to the underlying cause. Appendiceal diverticulitis has yet to gain widespread recognition despite the fact that it was first described in 1893.

The incidence of appendiceal diverticulitis in pathologic specimens is 0.004 to 2.1 per cent and is unusual in younger patients. Despite being first described in 1893, this condition is commonly dismissed by surgeons and pathologists as a variant of true appendicitis.

We report the case of a 56-year-old man with episodic right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Preoperative evaluation included computed tomography (CT) showing a right lower quadrant phlegmon consistent with cecal diverticulitis or appendicitis. The patient was treated with a short course of bowel rest and antibiotics.
