[Solitary diverticulum of the cecum: apropos of 2 cases].
Diverticulitis of the cecum and ascending colon represent 1.5% of colonic diverticulitis. The preoperative diagnosis is made in 0 to 23% of cases. Two typically misdiagnosed cases are reported. A review of the literature reveals that CT Scan is useful when atypical pain is present in the right lower quadrant. If diagnosed preoperatively, the uncomplicated caecal diverticulitis can be managed conservatively.
