Multiple simultaneous small intestinal diverticular penetrations.

Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition. Here, we report a rare case of multiple simultaneous small intestinal diverticular penetrations. An 82-year-old man was admitted with a chief complaint of slurred speech. The patient had fever and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Incidentally, two abscesses with increased density in the surrounding fatty tissue were identified using computed tomography. An emergency surgery was performed. A series of diverticula were found on the mesenteric side, spanning the area of abscess formation. We performed a partial resection of the jejunum, including abscess formation, and functional end-to-end anastomosis. Pathological examination indicated two instances of acute pyogenic diverticulitis with penetration. No cases of multiple simultaneous diverticular penetrations have been reported. However two previous reports described that of perforations. Most reports involved partial resection of the jejunum, including the perforated or penetrated site. Here, we report a rare case of multiple simultaneous small intestinal diverticulum penetrations.
