CAUSA ANDRIEU, P.I et al. Multislice computed tomography in small-bowel diverticulosis. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2017, vol.81, n.3, pp.214-218. ISSN 1852-9992.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rard.2016.07.005.

Small bowel diverticula is an uncommon and underdiagnosed pathology. False diverticula may be primary or secondary in origin and are frequently located in the duodenum. Meckel's diverticula is the most common true diverticula. Less than 15% of cases suffer complications, of which the following are, with decreasing frequency: inflammation and perforation, obstruction, bleeding, or chronic diarrhoea. In order to contribute to the best diagnosis and management of small-bowel diverticulosis, cases are presented that were initially evaluated with multislice computed tomography and confirmed surgically in our institution.
