“…It is a rare, acquired disease with a prevalence rate ranging from 0.3-1.3% in autopsy series to 2.3% in imaging studies of general population [4][5][6]. The actual incidence of reported cases is however lesser [10,11].…”

Jejunal diverticulae: reports of two cases with review of literature

et al. 2009

Introduction Jejunal diverticulosis (JD) is a rare disease of elderly people. Majority of diagnosed individuals are asymptomatic and found incidentally. The disease is clinically signifi cant because of associated potential risk of serious complications. Due to the rarity and variable presentation of this clinical entity, diagnosis is often diffi cult and delayed, resulting in unnecessary morbidity and mortality. Clinical presentations, signs, diagnosis, complications and treatment of JD are discussed through a review of the literature and report of two cases.

“…Use of ar teriog raphy to diagnose duodenal diverticular bleeding was first reported by Miller et al [5] in 1970. Since then, angiography and endoscopy have become the most useful modalities for diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal bleeding, suggesting TAE as the treatment of choice of duodenal diverticular hemorrhage [6,7] .…”

We present a 69-year-old woman with a duodenal obstruction after successful selective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for a duodenal diverticular hemorrhage. Two weeks after TAE, the patient showed abrupt symptoms of duodenal obstruction. Resolving hematomas after successful selective transcatheter arterial embolization should be thoroughly observed because they might result in duodenal fibrotic encasement featuring inflammatory duodenal wall thickening, duodenal deformity, dysmotility, and finally obstruction.

“…They also reviewed the literature and were able to collect 24 cases reported up to 1960 including their own 3 cases. Miller et al [2] reported 8 complications in 123 cases of small bowel diverticula, including 2 cases of hemorrhage. One was diagnosed preoperatively by angiography, the other by a "fluorescin string test."…”
