Successful diagnosis and treatment of jejunal diverticular haemorrhage by full-thickness enterotomy: A case report

Jejunal diverticula are the rarest of all small bowel diverticula and usually have no classic clinical symptoms. Jejunal diverticular haemorrhage (JDH) is a rare complication and can be difficult to identify and manage, hence it always resulting in a diagnostic delay and unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Although with the advances in endoscopic technology, no consensus have been reached on the diagnosis and management of JDH, the conventional surgical intervention still remains the mainstream for the management of JDH. We report an unique case of a 63-year-old male who presented with massive haemorrhage from jejunal diverticula, which was successfully managed by initial resuscitation and definitive surgery.
