[Recurrent ileus in jejunal diverticulitis]
Abstract:
Jejunal diverticula are in most cases acquired lesions of the intestinal wall, which are caused by abnormalities of smooth muscle or myenteric plexus. They may lead to more complications than previously expected. The described patient developed an acute abdomen 8 years after an ileus due to jejunal diverticulitis with enterolith formation and resection of two jejunal diverticula. Immediate laparotomy had demonstrated again an ileus, partly induced mechanically by an obstruction due to 2 enteroliths, partly induced paralytically due to local peritonitis. The surgical significance of jejunal diverticula is discussed.
