Abstract

Jejunal diverticulosis is a sporadic seen disease which was generally asymptomatic. Severe diverticulitis complications such as obstruction, hemorrhage, or perforation with a delayed diagnosis can be life-threatening. An 82 year old male patient applied to the emergency service with abdominal pain, and his physical examination was compatible with acute abdomen and peritonitis. He was diagnosed with perforation due to extraluminal air and abscess on computerized abdominal tomography. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and was diagnosed with perforation of jejunal diverticulitis, perioperatively. Segmental small intestine resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. He was discharged with no complications on the postoperative 25th day. In this case report, it is aimed to report a rare cause of acute abdomen in an elderly patient with perforation of jejunal diverticulitis due to delayed diagnosis.

Abstract

Jejunal divertikulozis genellikle asemptomatik seyreden çok nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Obstruksiyon, kanama ve perforasyon gibi divertikülite sekonder oluşan ciddi komplikasyonlar geç tanı konulduğunda yaşamı tehdit edici olabilir. Seksen iki yaşında erkek hasta acil servise karın ağrısı şikayetiyle başvurmuş olup, fizik muayenesi akut batın ve peritonit ile uyumlu idi. Bilgisayarlı abdomen tomografide serbest hava ve apse nedeniyle hastaya perforasyon tanısı konuldu. Eksploratif laparatomi yapılan hastaya ameliyat sırasında peroperatif jejunal divertikülit perforasyonu tanısı konuldu. Segmental ince bağırsak rezeksiyonu ve uçtan uca anastomoz uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası 25. günde komplikasyonsuz olarak taburcu edildi. Bu olgu sunumunda, gecikmiş tanı nedeniyle jejunal divertikülit perforasyonu olan yaşlı bir hastada nadir bir akut karın nedeninin sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
