[Diverticula in the vermiform appendix].
A case of multiple appendiceal diverticula seen by barium enema is reported. Five diverticula were clearly demonstrated. The patient was asymptomatic. Most diverticula of the appendix have been found at laparotomy for complicated appendicitis. We believe that prophylactic appendectomy should be performed to prevent complications.
