Radiologic diagnosis of jejunal diverticulitis.
A patient with jejunal diverticulitis diagnosed on a barium small bowel examination is presented. Criteria for diagnosis of colonic peridiverticular inflammation were applied to the small bowel, and were correlated with computed tomographic and radionuclide scans, which showed evidence of abscess formation in the jejunal mesentery.
