Abstract:
We report an unusual case of small bowel obstruction caused by a large enterolith released from small bowel diverticulitis in a 81-year-old patient with occult massive Diffuse Jejuno-Ileal Diverticulosis (DJID). DJID is a rare condition whose symptoms are usually absent or non-specific. In most cases, the diagnosis of DJID is incidentally made or consecutive to secondary complications comprising obstruction, haemorrhage, diverticulitis and perforation. We shortly review the clinical and imaging features and complications of DJID.

The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
