CT of large small-bowel diverticulum.
The previous reports concerning the computed tomographic (CT) appearances of small bowel diverticulum are usually limited to those of diverticulitis. We present the CT findings of uncomplicated, large small bowel diverticulum in five patients. An interesting coexistence of large small bowel diverticulum and small bowel volvulus will be mentioned. Four patients had recurrent abdominal pain in the past 2 years.
