Diverticulosis of the jejunum is an uncommon condition. We found four patients with such diverticula among 40,341 hospital admissions. All four patients presented with acute volvulus of the small bowel. It is suggested that the diverticula bearing segment becomes heavier due to the diverticula and the semisolid jejunal contents consisting of roughage, millet and cereals in the staple diet of our patients. Both factors contribute to small bowel volvulus. Jejunal diverticula may be missed because they are buried between the leaves of mesentery or adherent loops of jejunum. With a patient has vague abdominal symptoms, the possibility of jejunal diverticula should be considered.
空肠憩室病是一种罕见的病症。在40341例住院患者中，我们发现了4例患有此类憩室的患者。所有4例患者均表现为小肠急性扭转。据推测，由于憩室以及我们患者主食中由粗粮、小米和谷物组成的半固体空肠内容物，带有憩室的肠段会变得更重。这两个因素共同导致小肠扭转。空肠憩室可能会被漏诊，因为它们埋藏在肠系膜叶之间或空肠的粘连肠袢之间。当患者有模糊的腹部症状时，应考虑空肠憩室的可能性。
