Abstract
A rare case of a proximal jejunal diverticulitis is presented. The diagnosis was initially suggested by US and confirmed by CT. Ultrasound detected a hypoechoic irregular lesion continuous with the jejunum suggestive of the presence of diverticula. The presence of peridiverticular hyperechoic fat, associated with US signs of extraluminal air, evoked the diagnosis of a proximal jejunal diverticulitis, which was spontaneously walled-off. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT. The patient recovered after conservative treatment.Entities:
