A Case Report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.2, pp.229-234. Epub 11-Sep-2023. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.957.
Introduction:
Small intestine diverticula are a rare condition with an incidence of 0.6% to 2%. Their location at the level of the jejunum is a rare alteration, and their diagnosis is often delayed due to low clinical suspicion. The clinical manifestation of this pathology is related to the development of complications -15% to 30% of patients, with approximately 10% requiring surgical intervention.
Clinical case:
We present a case of a middle-aged adult patient who experienced a complication due to a bleeding jejunal diverticulum. The patient underwent surgical management, which resulted in a satisfactory outcome.
Objective:
This article aims to describe jejunal diverticulosis, a rare condition that can have a significant impact on affected individuals. Emphasizing its clinical suspicion as a differential diagnosis for gastrointestinal bleeding is crucial. Additionally, we discuss diagnostic methods and highlight various therapeutic options, including surgical management.
