Perforation in a Rare Solitary “True” Jejunal Diverticulum

Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare entity and is usually asymptomatic. However, it may present with chronic symptoms and acute complications. Most of these are false diverticuli. True diverticuli, as elsewhere in the GIT, possess all layers of the intestine, and are significantly rare. There is a high incidence of complications, such as perforation, in such diverticuli. Perforation in a true jejunal diverticulum has seldom been reported. We present one such rarely documented case where the site of perforation was within a true diverticulum in the jejunum.
