Jejunal diverticulosis (JD) is a rare clinical condition that develops along the mesenteric border of the small intestine at points of weakness in the intestinal wall corresponding to the sites where blood vessels penetrate the wall. Some authors have suggested a link between intestinal diverticulosis and rare neuromuscular diseases. Its course is often asymptomatic. Five types of complications may be observed: diverticulitis, obstruction, perforation, diverticular hemorrhage, and malabsorption syndrome. A definitive diagnosis of JD is very difficult to establish based solely on clinical examination findings. The use of imaging studies is therefore essential for diagnosis, and computed tomography (CT) has the highest diagnostic value for ID, although a definitive diagnosis of ID is rarely made before surgical exploration. The mortality rate for complicated ID has declined significantly and currently ranges between 0 and 5%. The main prognostic factors are delayed diagnosis and delayed treatment.
