    Author: Nazir M, Saebø A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1991; 91(5):227-8. PubMed ID: 1950308.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel diverticulosis occurs in 0.3-4.4% of all autopsies. Generally the condition is clinically silent; but acute diverticulitis with peritonitis and paralytic ileus may occur in elderly people. This complication has a high mortality and its successful management requires early diagnosis and surgery.
