Review
Here we report a case of a 60 years old woman who came to the Emergency Department of San Martino Hospital suffering from abdominal pain for about a week with high fever in the last 24 hours. The final histological examination led to the diagnosis of ileal diverticulosis associated with perforation and peritonitis with a fibrotic reaction involving the last ileal loop, the caecum and the appendix.

Jejunal diverticula, like other intestinal diverticula, can become complicated and present as acute abdomen. Diagnosis is difficult and management in complicated cases can be surgical as well as conservative. We present two cases of complicated jejunal diverticulosis that presented with acute abdomen and were managed surgically. Post-operative recovery was satisfactory. Jejunal diverticula is a diagnostic challenge in a low-resource peripheral hospital.

Review
Acquired (non-Meckel's) jejunoileal diverticulosis is an uncommon disease, generally characterised by vague and unspecific symptoms. This rare condition is mainly expressed as acute complications: gastrointestinal haemorrhage, mechanic obstruction of the small intestine or perforated diverticulum, requiring urgent surgical intervention. The authors report a case of this unusual clinical occurrence characterized by a picture of abdominal pain due to perforation of jejuneal diverticulum. The final etiological diagnosis was possible only during surgery.
