As a result of the variety of presentations, complications of jejunal diverticulosis present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the acute care surgeon.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If none of these signs are present, uncomplicated enterolith ileus is present. In uncomplicated enterolith ileus (21 patients), more often milking and crushing or enterotomy was performed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Though rare, jejunal diverticulosis can present with several life-threatening complications that mandates immediate surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A case of left-sided paraduodenal hernia and jejunal diverticulosis is described in 75-year-old man who presented with chronic intermittent abdominal pain, weight loss, and anemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Medical therapy is helpful in controlling diarrhea and anemia, while surgical therapy can give excellent results in treating complications or refractory symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As anemia was not improved by conservative therapy and selective superior mesenteric angiogram revealed a bleeding lesion in the jejunum, emergency operation was performed.[jlc.jst.go.jp]
Anemia due to iron deficiency and megaloblastic anemia have often been reported and commonly attributed to malabsorpion, steatorreia, and vitaminic deficit [ 23 , 33 ].[wjes.biomedcentral.com]
General blood picture showed presence of toxic granulations and features of macrocytic anemia. Serum protein levels were markedly reduced. Abdominal X-ray displayed multiple dilated loops of small bowel.[casereports.in]

It is most often asymptomatic but presenting symptoms are nonspecific and include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, malabsorption, bleeding, obstruction, and/or perforation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A hemoglobin level is important in patients who report hematochezia. Electrolyte assays may be helpful in the patient who is vomiting or has diarrhea. Assess renal function prior to the administration of most intravenous contrast material.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Larger, disfiguring hemangiomas and darker, flat macules or papules also may develop. The small bowel is the most commonly affected site; however, any part of the GI tract can be involved. Blebs in the colon most often are located distally.[consultant360.com]
Workup of these symptoms included computed tomography, which showed small-bowel dilatation along with a whirl sign and numerous collateral veins, suggestive of a midgut volvulus (see video ).[nejm.org]
See Workup for more detail. Treatment of diverticulitis The management of patients with diverticulitis depends on their presentation severity, presence of complications, and comorbid conditions.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The treatment is mainly surgical; however, there have been cases where nonsurgical management was successful.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Comment Jejunal diverticulosis was first reported in 1807 by Sir Astley Paston Cooper. 2 The exact etiology is unknown; however, it has been speculated to be a result of abnormal peristalsis, dyskinesia, and high intraluminal pressures.[ispub.com]
This is the second reported case of a giant congenital jejunal diverticulum presenting with diverticulitis and perforation in a child. [3] The etiology of true jejunal diverticulosis is unknown.[saudisurgj.org]
The etiology is unclear; it is believed to develop as the result of abnormalities in peristalsis, intestinal dys-kinesis, and high segmental intraluminal pressures.[abdominalsurg.org]
