“…20,21 Some patients with symptomatic rectal diverticulum had required resection of the lesion through endorectal diverticulectomy. 14,22 In the majority of reported cases, however, the treatment had been directed towards the coexisting anorectal lesions or defecation disorders.…”

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the appearance of acquired rectal diverticula on barium enema and computed tomography (CT) and to review the pertinent clinical data about this entity. Methods: This series included 3 men and 6 women, who ranged in age from 47 to 82 years (average: 64 years). Air-contrast barium enema in 6 patients with history of anorectal disease or obstructed defecation demonstrated rectal diverticula. In these cases, multiple radiographs of the rectosigmoid region were obtained in upright position while the patient was relaxing or straining without any attempt to evacuate the barium. In 3 cases, the lateral rectal diverticula were incidental finding on CT studies that were performed for various unrelated abdominal complaints. Results: Pulsion type of diverticulum presenting as a wide-neck outpouching was detected on the lateral rectal wall in 5 and on the posterior wall in 4 patients. They measured 2-3 cm in diameter when filled with contrast material or gas, and became even larger when the intraluminal pressure was increased by straining. Conclusion: Pulsion diverticula of the rectum present as a wide-neck outpouching of the lateral or posterior rectal wall in adult patients. This acquired abnormality is usually associated with coexisting anorectal lesions or defecation disorders. The practising radiologists and colorectal surgeons should be aware of this uncommon condition, its appearance on barium enema and other imaging studies, and its clinical implications.

“…Para casos con síntomas que alteran la calidad de vida del paciente y refractarios al manejo médico o con complicaciones relacionadas (sangrado, diverticulitis, perforación) se sugiere la cirugía. En este contexto se ha descrito desde la diverticulectomía hasta procedimientos de mayor complejidad como la rectosigmoidectomía o resección abdominoperineal (17,18).…”

Los divertículos rectales son hallazgos inusuales durante la colonoscopia o estudios radiológicos del colon. Se estima una prevalencia aproximada del 1 % y se presenta con mayor frecuencia en hombres entre la sexta y novena década de la vida. En la mayoría de pacientes son asintomáticos, aunque algunos pueden cursar con síntomas o complicaciones relacionadas. Se reporta el caso de una paciente con divertículo rectal grande con dolor abdominal y estreñimiento.

Rectal diverticula and pseudodiverticula are a rare finding and often associated with diverticular disease of the colon.

Little is known about the pathogenesis of rectal diverticular disease.

We present the case of a 77-year-old woman who initially presented 13 years ago to a colorectal clinic with a change in bowel habit and bleeding per rectum over 7 months. These symptoms were attributed to a tubulovillous rectal adenoma which was excised transanally, but recurred five times in 12 years. The most recent endoscopy showed recurrence of the rectal adenoma and a new rectal diverticulum. Diverticula in the rectum are rare and only a few reports of this condition exist in the literature. Repeated surgical resections and endoscopic polypectomies may have caused a weakness in the rectal wall and led to a pseudodiverticulum.
