“…Colonic diverticulum and abdominal aortic aneurysms are initially asymptomatic, and both are frequently seen in the 5th and 6th decades. The relationship between aortic aneurysm and diverticulum has been shown in the literature 8 . However, no study reported comorbidity of abdominal aortic aneurysm and colonic diverticulum was found in the literature.…”

Aim: The evaluation of the relationship between the aortic aneurysm and colonic diverticulum in the tomography images of the patients followed-up for abdominal aortic aneurysm Methods: The tomographic images of 97 patients (Female/Male:20/77) aged between 40-88 years with/without abdominal aortic aneurysm and colonic diverticulum were analyzed. Abdominal aortic diameters were analyzed by categorizing them as 20-29 mm, 30-49 mm, and 50 mm over, and the presence of colonic diverticulum in the abdominal aorta with these diameters. The presence of plaque, narrowing, and dilatation in ascending, descending, and abdominal parts of the aorta was evaluated, and the levels of arterial plaque, narrowing, and stenosis in the inferior and superior mesenteric arteries supplying the intestine were assessed. Results: The rate of colonic diverticulum was found to be significantly lower in the tomographic images of the patients with normal abdominal aortic diameter. It was found that the frequency of colonic diverticulum increased as the abdominal aortic diameter increased from 29 mm to 50 mm and above. Conclusion: The probability of detection of colonic diverticulum increases as the diameter of the abdominal aorta increases.

Association Between Diverticular Disease and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Pooled Analysis of Two Population Based Screening Cohorts

Abstract: An association was found between diverticular disease and AAA in a large population based cohort. Biological causality remains to be established, and a potential impact of diverticular disease on the natural history of AAA needs to be explored further.
