Appendiceal Diverticulosis Presented with Cecal Dicerticulitis

- Diverticulosis of the vermiform appendix is one of the rare diseases. Recently we experienced a case of diverticulosis of vermiform appendix presented with cecal diverticulitis. The patient was presented with intermittent abdomina] pain that persisted for two months and preoperative barium enema showed multiple cecal and appendiceal diverticulosis. Resection including terminal ileum and cecum was done and pathology revealed cecal diverticulitis with appendiceal diverticulosis. So, we report a case of appendiceal diverticulosis presented with cecal diverticulitis in regard to its rarity and proper managernent with literature review.
