DIVERTICULITIS OF THE TERMINAL ILEUM

Abstract
Diverticulitis of the terminal ileum is a rare entity which is usually discovered at operation for suspected acute appendicitis. A case is reported in which the inflammatory process was less acute and barium studies led to a correct preoperative diagnosis. The subject of jejuno-ileal diverticulosis is discussed and the clinical and roentgen manifestations of diverticulitis are described.
