Abstract

We present a case of an older male patient, who was referred to our department due to long lasting abdominal pain. He had under gone abdominal X-ray, US and CT with contrast but the underlying cause could not have been univocally determined. The patient underwent an explorative laparoscopy during which an abscess as a consequence of perforated jejuna diverticulum has been found and successfully evacuated.
