Resumen
HEVIA, Macarena et al. Acute small bowel diverticulitis in a patient with crohn’s disease. Rev. méd. Chile [online]. 2017, vol.145, n.3, pp.397-401. ISSN 0034-9887. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0034-98872017000300016.
Diverticular disease of the small intestine is rare, especially when it is located in the jejunum. It is generally asymptomatic, but in some patients it may have complications such as acute diverticulitis with peritonitis, gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction. In such cases, the recommended treatment is surgery. We report a 77-year-old patient with ileal Crohn’s disease with a long-standing inflammatory phenotype, who developed acute diverticulitis of the jejunum presenting a severe septic shock and secondary multiple-organ failure. It resolved with medical treatment and prolonged antibiotic therapy.
Palabras clave : Key-words: Crohn Disease; Diverticulitis; Diverticulum; Jejunal Disease.
