Resumen
GOMEZ V, Álvaro Andrés. Symptomatic rectal diverticulum. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.4, pp.469-472. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.186.
Rectal diverticula are unusual findings during colonoscopy and radiological studies of the colon. Prevalence is estimated to be approximately 1%, and they occur more frequently in men between the 6th and 9th decade of life. Most patients are asymptomatic, although some may present symptoms or related complications. We report the case of a patient with a large rectal diverticulum with abdominal pain and constipation.
