Non-Meckel small intestine diverticular disease is a rare and mostly asymptomatic condition. However, rare cases of acute and emergent complications bear a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 91-year-old male that presented with an acute abdomen due to perforated jejunal diverticulitis. A review of the literature and key points of the condition are depicted. Although jejunal diverticulosis is rare, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially in the elderly with signs of ambiguous abdominal pain and peritonitis.
非梅克尔小肠憩室病是一种罕见且大多无症状的疾病。然而，急性和紧急并发症的罕见病例死亡率很高。我们报告一例91岁男性因空肠憩室炎穿孔出现急腹症的病例。文中还对文献进行了综述并阐述了该病的要点。尽管空肠憩室病很罕见，但在鉴别诊断时必须考虑到，尤其是对于有腹痛不明确和腹膜炎体征的老年人。
