Giant diverticulum- A rare complication of a common surgical condition.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A gentleman presented with abdominal distension and pain. CT confirmed a 20 cm sigmoid diverticulum. A giant diverticulum, typified by diverticula greater than 4 cm, often requires colonic resection. Fewer than 200 cases have been reported, most measuring 7-15 cm. I present a rare complication of a common surgical condition with images.
