INTRODUCTION:
Diverticular disease was first described by Soemmerring in 1794 and later by Astley Cooper in 1809. In 1906, Gordinier and Shil performed the first operation for diverticulum [1]. In less than 30% of cases, jejunal diverticula are revealed by complications such as diverticulitis, obstruction, hemorrhage or perforation [2,3].
We report a case of perforated jejunal diverticulitis. We propose to describe diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
