  • Title: Perforated diverticulitis of the transverse colon.
    Author: Shperber Y, Halevy A, Oland J, Orda R.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1986 Jul; 29(7):466-8. PubMed ID: 3720460.
    Abstract:
    A case of localized, perforated diverticulitis of the transverse colon in a 45-year-old woman is presented. Preoperatively, this rare disease is indistinguishable from other acute surgical conditions, and often is mistaken for carcinoma at laparotomy. This report increases awareness of this unusual condition, and emphasizes the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications. Case reports described in the literature are reviewed.
