Abstract EN

Jejunal diverticula are uncommon and usually asymptomatic.

Very rarely, they can lead to acute complications such as bleeding, obstruction, and perforation.

This report describes our experience of a case of jejunal diverticula perforation secondary to a large faecolith, with particular focus on the aetiology and management of this rare condition.
