  • Title: Perforation and abscess formation of a solitary jejunal diverticulum.
    Author: Fass G, Colonval P.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2007; 107(2):222-4. PubMed ID: 17515277.
    Abstract:
    Perforation of a jejunal diverticulum is a rare clinical entity. Its elusive clinical presentation often delays diagnosis resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case where a female patient was treated conservatively for an intra-abdominal abscess of unknown origin. After three weeks, an exploratory laparoscopy was performed. The definitive diagnosis was an abscess resulting from a perforated solitary jejunal diverticulum.
