Small bowel diverticulosis represents an uncommon disorder (except for Meckel diverticulum) often misdiagnosed since it causes non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. Most of times the diagnosis is carried out in case of related complications, such as diverticulitis, hemorrhage, perforation or obstruction. Intestinal obstruction can be caused by inflammatory stenosis due to repeated episodes of diverticulitis, volvulus, intussusception or jejunal stones. Herein we report a case of multiple jejunal diverticula causing chronic gastrointestinal obstruction.
小肠憩室病是一种罕见的疾病（梅克尔憩室除外），由于其引起非特异性胃肠道症状，常被误诊。大多数情况下，诊断是在出现相关并发症时进行的，如憩室炎、出血、穿孔或梗阻。肠梗阻可由憩室炎反复发作引起的炎性狭窄、肠扭转、肠套叠或空肠结石导致。在此，我们报告一例由多个空肠憩室引起慢性胃肠道梗阻的病例。
