  • Title: Cecal diverticulitis in young patients.
    Author: Norfray JF, Givens JD, Sparberg MS, Dwyer RM.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1980 Nov 15; 5(4):379-82. PubMed ID: 7461416.
    Abstract:
    Of the patients with cecal diverticulitis, 24 to 50% are below the age of 30, and such cases are usually misdiagnosed preoperatively as appendicitis. Two young patients with cecal diverticulitis were diagnosed preoperatively by barium enemas. The barium enemas correctly identified the extent of the disease. Treatment was tailored to the clinical and roentgenographic findings with both patients requiring elective colon resections.
