    Abstract:
    Giant colonic diverticulum is an uncommon complication of diverticulosis, with only 52 previously reported cases. Complications secondary to the giant air cysts occurred in only six instances, and all but one occurred in the sigmoid colon. Two additional cases are described, presenting atypical location, age, and complication by pneumoperitoneum.
