title: [Multiple diverticulosis of the small intestine].
abstract: A case of jejunum-ileum multiple diverticulosis observed during a cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis, is reported. Stress is laid on this unusual localization of diverticulosis in the small intestine. The clinical picture can be silent or present an acute or chronic symptomatology and radical surgical treatment can performed or not. When the disease involves all the intestine, without presenting serious inflammatory phenomena and without clinical symptoms (as in the case observed), medical and not surgical treatment can be envisaged.
