[Jejunal diverticulosis--a rare cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage].
We report a case of gastro-intestinal bleeding caused by jejunal diverticulosis, in which preoperative diagnosis could be achieved by selective angiography. Even though the small bowel is a rare localisation of bleeding (1% of all cases), this part of intestine should be included into diagnostic considerations. Jejunal diverticulosis only requires operative treatment after occurrence of complications, small bowel resection is regarded as treatment of choice in these cases.
