Abstract

•Diagnosis is often difficult and delayed because clinical symptoms are not specific.•The etiopathogenesis of jejuno–ileal diverticulosis is unclear.•Flatulent dyspepsia = epigastric pain abdominal discomfort, flatulence one or two hours after meals.•The extraluminal air develops an arrowhead-like shape surrounded by inflammatory tissue when the diverticulum is perforated.•In the presence of complications, surgical resection with reestablishment of the bowel continuity is the preferred treatment option.
