SUMMARYJejunal diverticulosis is a rare entity with a reported clinical incidence of 0.5%. However, symptoms relating to its presence are non-specific, which does not only delay diagnosis, but also increases the risk of serious complications approaching 15%. We report a case of perforated jejunal diverticulum presented with a 6-month history of significant weight loss and acute abdominal pain. We discuss clinical presentation in both simple and complex cases, diagnostic pitfalls and management strategies. BACKGROUND

This important Western Trauma multicenter study found minimal benefit from embolization of liver injuries following the finding of blush on CT. Embolization carried a higher rate of complications with more drain placements and longer LOS.
