Özet
Jejunal diverticulosis is a sporadic seen disease which was generally asymptomatic. Severe diverticulitis complications such as obstruction, hemorrhage, or perforation with a delayed diagnosis can be life-threatening. An 82 year old male patient applied to the emergency service with abdominal pain, and his physical examination was compatible with acute abdomen and peritonitis. He was diagnosed with perforation due to extraluminal air and abscess on computerized abdominal tomography. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and was diagnosed with perforation of jejunal diverticulitis, perioperatively. Segmental small intestine resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. He was discharged with no complications on the postoperative 25th day. In this case report, it is aimed to report a rare cause of acute abdomen in an elderly patient with perforation of jejunal diverticulitis due to delayed diagnosis.
