An Unusual Case of Intensive Acute Abdominal Pain Caused by Non-Perforated Jejunal Diverticulitis

We report a case of a 65-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital due to sudden acute abdominal pain.Laboratory results revealed leukocytosis and multislice computed tomography revealed free intraabdominal liquid in the left upper quadrant among jejunal loops.An urgent laparotomy was performed, and jejunal diverticulitis was found without signs of perforation.The part of the affected jejunum was resected with jejunal primary anastomosis.The patient recovered well and was discharged home on the 5th postoperative day.The gastrointestinal assessment revealed no inflammatory bowel disease during follow-up, and the symptoms did not reoccur.Two years later, the patient underwent a postoperative ventral hernia repair.Jejunal diverticulitis is less common than diverticular colon disease.However, it may cause acute abdominal pain due to bleeding and perforation.To this date jejunal diverticulitis was not presented as the cause of acute abdominal pain without perforation.
