Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Jejunal diverticulosis is an uncommon condition affecting 0.07% to 2.0% of the population.
  • Jejunal diverticulitis, particularly with perforation, represents a rare but critical surgical emergency.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a perforated solitary jejunal diverticulum in an 80-year-old female patient.
  • The patient presented with complications arising from a perforated jejunal diverticulum.

Findings:

  • Perforation of a jejunal diverticulum is a rare clinical event.
  • This condition is associated with a high mortality rate if not promptly treated.

Implications:

  • Prompt surgical intervention, specifically resection of the affected jejunal segment, is crucial for patient survival.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of jejunal diverticula, potentially involving small bowel manometric or histologic abnormalities, is warranted.
