    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Appendiceal diverticula are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Most cases are incidental findings during surgery for complicated appendicitis.

    Observation:

    • A barium enema successfully visualized five distinct appendiceal diverticula.
    • The patient presented with no symptoms related to the diverticula.

    Findings:

    • Multiple appendiceal diverticula can be asymptomatic.
    • Radiological imaging can detect appendiceal diverticula.

    Implications:

    • Early detection of appendiceal diverticula may warrant prophylactic appendectomy.
    • Preventive surgical strategies could mitigate risks of appendicitis.
