CASE 814: COMPLICATED DIVERTICULITIS, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr PHAN THANH VIỆT BÌNH , MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 65 year-old diabetic man with LLQ pain and lose stool for weeks.

Ultrasound detected some diverticula 7-9mm and a mass of sigmoid colon leading to an colo-colonic intussussception ?.


Colonoscopy noted some sigmoid diveticula and a  tumor caused narrowing 70% the lumen of the sigmoid colon.


MSCT confirmed an abscess of sigmoid colon maybe from an acute inflammation.


Surgery removed the sigmoid colon which had some diverticuls and a perforated diverticulum. It existed no tumoral mass of the sigmoid colon.


Microscopic result was  an acute sigmoid colitis having diverticula with a perforated abscess of a diverticulum.


Complicated diverticulitis : perforation, abscess are still rare conditions for MSCT and abdominal ultrasound (POCUS).
