Diverticulitis is rare in pediatric patients and often associated with a more complicated course than that seen with adult patients. Certain syndromes, such as Williams syndrome, have been associated with an increase incidence of diverticular disease. We describe a 9-year-old boy with Williams syndrome who presented with rectal bleeding secondary to sigmoid diverticulitis. This case represents the youngest known patient with diverticulitis. Patients with this disorder who present with chronic or recurrent abdominal pain should be evaluated for diverticular disease and its potential complications.
小儿憩室炎少见，且常比成人患者的病程更为复杂。某些综合征，如威廉姆斯综合征，与憩室病的发生率增加有关。我们描述了一例 9 岁的威廉姆斯综合征男孩，因乙状结肠憩室炎导致直肠出血。这是目前已知的患有憩室炎的最年轻患者。患有这种疾病且表现为慢性或复发性腹痛的患者，应评估是否患有憩室病及其潜在并发症。
