Abstract
Jejunal diverticulitis is an uncommon pathology wherein a delay in diagnosis can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of such diverticula requiring operative management, after patient failed non-operative management, likely due to advanced jejunal inflammation from a delay in diagnosis and subsequent management.
