A rare giant sigmoid colon diverticulum perforated into the urinary bladder in a 74-year-old woman. Surgical resection of both organs led to favorable outcomes for this rare complication of diverticulosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Diverticulosis is common, but giant diverticula are rare complications.
  • Giant sigmoid diverticula can present as pseudo-diverticula due to a valve mechanism.
  • Differential diagnosis includes intestinal duplication and pneumatosis cystoides.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old woman presented with a giant diverticulum of the sigmoid colon.
  • The diverticulum had perforated into the urinary bladder.
  • A complex 3-phase surgical operation was required.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection of the sigmoid colon and urinary bladder was performed.
  • The patient's condition was successfully managed with surgery.
  • Favorable results were achieved following the surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering giant diverticula in complex gastrointestinal and urological presentations.
  • Surgical management is effective for giant sigmoid diverticula with bladder perforation.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of giant diverticula is warranted.
