title: Jejunal diverticulitis: US and CT findings with anatomical correlation.
abstract: A rare case of jejunal diverticulitis is described. The jejunal origin of the inflammatory process was suggested by ultrasound and CT but the definite diagnosis was made at surgery with anatomical correlation. The prevalence, physiopathology, symptoms and complications of this rare clinical entity are discussed as well as the uneasy correct diagnosis with imaging techniques. Some diagnostic clues are retrospectively put forward.
