Colonic Diverticula

Giant colonic diverticula are a rare manifestation of diverticular disease and there are fewer than 150 cases described in the literature. They may have an acute or chronic presentation or may remain asymptomatic and be found incidentally. As the majority (over 80%) of giant diverticula are located in the sigmoid colon, they usually present with left-sided symptoms but due to the variable location of the sigmoid loop, right-sided symptoms are possible. We describe the acute presentation of an inflamed giant sigmoid diverticulum with right iliac fossa pain. We discuss both the treatment options for this interesting condition and also the important role of computed tomography in the diagnosis and management of abdominal pain in elderly patients.

Uncommon Complication

Abstract Acquired diverticular disease of the colon is very common in the North American population. Atypical presentations are usually due to complications and rarely the predominant complaint may be related to an associated fistula. Thigh abscesses due to colocutaneous fistula represent an uncommon complication of sigmoid diverticulitis. In rare cases, a thigh abscess may be the only symptom, but gas in the thigh should raise the index of suspicion for bowel pathology. We report the second known case of a left-sided sigmoid diverticulitis leading to an isolated right thigh abscess with no gastrointestinal symptoms.
