Abstract
Multiple diverticulosis of the jejunum is an uncommon pathology of the small bowel. The incidence of diverticulum of small intestine varies from 0.3 to 1.2%, out of which duodenal diverticula are common that jejunal. This rare jejunal diverticula is usually asymptomatic in course, which made it more difficult in establishing this diagnosis. This may rarely lead to complications such as perforation, haemorrhage, obstruction which may be due to adhesions, volvulus, and intussusception. We herein report a case of a 72-year-old female patient with no comorbidities presented to ER with complaints of abdominal distention, lower abdominal pain, vomiting for 3 days. Pre-op evaluation revealed midgut volvulus with intestinal obstruction. Explorative Laparotomy revealed multiple diverticula in jejunum. Midgut volvulus was operated by resection and anastomosis of small bowel.
