  • Title: Diverticular perforation masquerading as maxillary sinusitis.
    Author: Hollingshead MC, Warshauer DM.
    Journal: Emerg Radiol; 2006 Nov; 13(2):83-5. PubMed ID: 16941111.
    Abstract:
    Although diverticular perforation and diverticulitis is usually a straightforward diagnosis, an occasional case can be difficult. In this report, we describe a patient who initially presented with symptoms suggestive of maxillary sinusitis and hip fracture. Findings of subcutaneous craniofacial emphysema eventually led to the diagnosis of a perforated sigmoid diverticulum with abscess.
