Partial small bowel obstruction secondary to ileal diverticulitis. 1977

J K Fisher, and D Fortin

A case of distal ileal diverticulosis complicated by diverticulitis causing partial small bowel obstruction is presented. To the author's knowledge, this is the first reported case of such obstruction, and the third reported case of preoperatively diagnosed ileal diverticulitis. This diagnosis should be considered in patients with acute abdominal symptoms and/or small bowel obstruction.
