[Diverticulosis of the small intestine (a report of 5 cases)].

The authors report on five cases of jejuno-ileal diverticulosis, which is a rare generally fairly unimportant disease, but which may unexpectedly develop into a life-threatening situation for the patient. The Authors take these cases as their starting point for presenting a number of findings and considerations regarding various aetiopathogenetic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the condition.
