[Postoperative pseudo-diverticulum of the small intestine as a cause of digestive hemorrhage (author's transl)].

Investigations in a 38-year-old woman with recurrent digestive hemorrhages demonstrated the presence of two diverticular images close to each other at the end of the ileum. Operation revealed distention of two blind loops at either end of a laterolateral anastomosis of the small intestine. This type of surgical procedure, now abandoned, may produce local complications. A history of surgical treatment on the small intestine should suggest this possibility, and confirmation is obtained by radiological examination.
