Özet

Jejunal diverticula are rare and usually asymptomatic. However, perforation of a diverticulum can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. There is no specific diagnostic method. Clinical signs may mimic acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, peptic ulcer perforation and colonic diverticulitis. The true diagnosis is usually made during the operation, and the resection of involved bowel segment is required. We herein present a case of acute abdomen caused by a jejunal diverticulum perforation which should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
