Obstructing Giant Colonic Diverticulum
Southern Medical Journal, 2000We report the second case of an obstructing true colonic diverticulum. Of the 103 cases of giant sigmoid diverticulum found in the literature, 13% have been reported as true giant sigmoid diverticulum, ie, containing all layers of the colonic wall.
