  • Title: Perforation and hemorrhage of a non-Meckelian ileal diverticulum: preoperative angiographic diagnosis.
    Author: Wolper JC, Tisnado J.
    Journal: Dig Dis Sci; 1981 Jun; 26(6):565-7. PubMed ID: 6786846.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old male with infective bacterial endocarditis experienced right lower quadrant pain and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The clinical impression of hemorrhagic diverticulitis was supported by the preoperative angiographic findings of a collection of extravasated contrast material in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen originating from a branch of the ileocolic artery. Exploratory laparotomy and pathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed an ileal diverticulum which had perforated and was the source of hemorrhage.
