title: [Jejunal diverticulitis as the cause of acute abdomen].
abstract: We present two patients with jejunal diverticulitis. Diverticula in jejunum and ileum are very rare, occurring with an incidence of 0.07-2% in the gastrointestinal tract. They are often associated with unspecific symptoms as intermittent abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhoea. The treatment of mild diverticular disease is intravenous fluids and antibiotics. If there is an occurrence of peritonitis as a complication of jejunal diverticulitis, laparatomy may be indicated. Both of the patients received a conservative treatment with intravenous fluids and antibiotics with good response.
