Acute intestinal obstruction due to solitary jejunal diverticulum.
We report a 26-year-old man who presented with acute intestinal obstruction. Laparotomy revealed a solitary jejunal diverticulum with a meso-diverticular band, through which a loop of bowel had herniated. He underwent wedge resection of the diverticulum and excision of the band.
