Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition characterized by outpouchings in the jejunum.
  • Complications associated with jejunal diverticulosis are not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation and complications of jejunal diverticulosis.
  • To identify patient outcomes and necessary interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patient medical records from 1980 to 1986.
  • Identification of patients diagnosed with jejunal diverticulosis.

Main Results:

  • Forty-seven patients with jejunal diverticulosis were identified.
  • Fourteen patients experienced complications directly attributed to diverticula.
