title: Acute diverticulitis of the small bowel: CT findings.
abstract: We present the computed tomographic (CT) findings in two cases of small bowel diverticulitis, one affecting the jejunum and the other a Meckel's diverticulum. The main CT finding was that of a mass with an air-fluid collection in contiguity with small bowel loops.
