Abstract

Jejunal diverticula are a rare entity and are usually asymptomatic. Symptoms presented by the patient of jejunal diverticula reflect its associated complications. These complications may be of acute or chronic in nature. Since it is a rare entity, the diagnosis is usually delayed, resulting in unnecessary morbidity and mortality. We are presenting an interesting case of multiple jejunal diverticula associated with its volvulus.
