  • Title: [Single diverticulum of perforated cecum. Report of 5 cases].
    Author: Dorfman S, Barboza R, Finol F, Cardozo J.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1990 Feb; 77(2):147-8. PubMed ID: 2112023.
    Abstract:
    Cecal diverticulitis is a relatively rare disease, which closely mimics the picture of acute appendicitis. At times it is difficult to differentiate from carcinoma. Five cases of cecal diverticulitis are reported, with a discussion of some salient features of this condition. Although two cases were treated with a right hemicolectomy, a plea for conservatism in the treatment of this disease is made.
