[Diverticulitis of the jejunum as a rare cause of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage--diagnosis and therapy].
Small bowel diverticulosis is in contrast to large intestine diverticulosis an uncommon, acquired entity. In most cases it was found in duodenum and as a Meckel's diverticulum. Jejunal or ileal diverticulosis is a relatively rare disease. Although the majority of the patients do not require surgical treatment because of the absence of clinical signs, in 10% complications may necessitate small bowel resection. The clinical significance, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of jejunal diverticular disease are reviewed.
