Abstract

Acquired jejunal diverticulosis often produces few or no symptoms and is generally picked up incidentally on cross-sectional imaging or intra-operatively. Similar to what is observed in colonic diverticulosis, diverticulitis can lead to more complicated clinical presentations including; perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction. Acute diverticulitis is the most common presentation, but other complications can occur, mainly perforation, bowel obstruction and hemorrhage. Diagnosis is often difficult and delayed due to its relative rarity and non-specific clinical symptoms which increase the mortality and morbidity of this pathology. We have discussed a patient who presented to us with features of intestinal obstruction and on investigations and exploratory laparotomy he was diagnosed as a rare case of jejunal diverticulitis. He was managed operatively and patient had uneventful recovery where after CT scan, exploratory laparotomy was done and proximal milking through NG tube was done without resection.

特发性空肠憩室炎1例报告
获得性空肠憩室病通常很少或没有症状,通常在横断成像或术中偶然发现。与结肠憩室病类似,憩室炎可导致更复杂的临床表现,包括;穿孔、消化道出血或梗阻。急性憩室炎是最常见的表现,但也可能出现其他并发症,主要是穿孔、肠梗阻和出血。由于其相对罕见和非特异性临床症状,增加了这种病理的死亡率和发病率,诊断往往困难和延迟。我们讨论了一位以肠梗阻为特征的患者,经检查和剖腹探查,他被诊断为空肠憩室炎的罕见病例。他接受手术治疗,患者顺利康复,CT扫描后进行剖腹探查,并通过NG管近端挤奶,未切除。
