Presentation of jeujunoileal diverticulosis in young age is virtually unknown. It is associated with middle or old age. It is usually asymptomatic but may present with vague abdominal pain and episodic nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. It can lead to complications like bleeding, perforation and obstruction. We had 3 cases of jejuno-ileal diverticulosis presenting in their teens. They had resection and anastomosis resulting in improved health.

Review
Gut microbiota composition and functionality are involved in the pathophysiology of several intestinal and extraintestinal diseases, and are increasingly considered a modulator of local and systemic inflammation. However, the involvement of gut microbiota in diverticulosis and in diverticular disease is still poorly investigated. In this review, we critically analyze the existing evidence on the fecal and mucosa-associated microbiota composition and functionality across different stages of diverticular disease. We also explore the influence of risk factors for diverticulosis on gut microbiota composition, and speculate on the possible relevance of these associations for the pathogenesis of diverticula. We overview the current treatments of diverticular disease targeting the intestinal microbiome, highlighting the current areas of uncertainty and the need for future studies. Although no conclusive remarks on the relationship between microbiota and diverticular disease can be made, preliminary data suggest that abdominal symptoms are associated with reduced representation of taxa with a possible anti-inflammatory effect, such as Clostridium cluster IV, and overgrowth of Enterobacteriaceae, Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia. The role of the microbiota in the early stages of the disease is still very uncertain. Future studies should help to disentangle the role of the microbiome in the pathogenesis of diverticular disease and its progression towards more severe forms.

A 57-yr-old female Sumatran orangutan ( Pongo abelii) presented with signs of intermittent lethargy and inappetence, then subsequently developed profuse hemorrhagic diarrhea. Colonoscopy under anesthesia revealed diverticulosis of the descending colon, with multiple large diverticula containing fecoliths. There was no evidence of diverticulitis, but a regenerative anemia had developed following an acute diverticular bleed. The orangutan recovered with conservative therapy. Colonic diverticulosis has been reported in nonhuman primates and appears to have a similar clinical presentation to the condition as it occurs in humans. This is the first published report of colonic diverticulosis in a great ape.
