Abstract
Jejunoileal diverticula are in last place in frequency of diverticular disease. In most cases they are asymptomatic and its most common presentation form is any of its related complications, such as bleeding, obstruction, diverticulitis or perforation. It is essential to raise this possible diagnosis in the case of acute abdomen to reduce as far as possible the morbidity and mortality associated with delayed diagnosis or surgical indication if associated complications. We report a case of acute abdomen secondary to perforation jejunal diverticulitis, with satisfactory results after emergency surgery.
