title: Jejunal diverticulosis complicated by volvulus and recurrent spontaneous diverticular perforation.
abstract: Small intestinal diverticulosis is a rare cause of abdominal pain. We report the case of a patient whose chronic intermittent abdominal pain was due to recurrent spontaneous perforation of jejunal diverticula, and who ultimately developed an acute volvulus of the small bowel, a very rarely reported association of the disorder.
