Abstract

Small bowel diverticula are rare presentations and jejunal diverticula are even more rare. Due to their asymptomatic nature, they are diagnosed at a very late stage leading to poor prognosis. Jejunal Diverticulosis is a rare diagnosis which presents at later stages with mild symptoms as in our case. Prognosis is poor due late presentation and high mortality. Timely management is important to reduce mortality. Here is a case report highlighting the presentation, the diagnostic workup and management of a patient with perforated Jejunal Diverticulosis.
