Core Tip
Core Tip: Jejunal diverticula (JD) are rare clinical conditions that can lead to nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by JD is observed in 3%-8% of patients and may manifest as either fresh rectal bleeding or dark red bloody stools. In cases of complications, early diagnosis can be facilitated through the use of endoscopy and computed tomography scans, with surgical resection of the affected bowel being the most suitable treatment option. In this report, we present a case of multiple JD associated with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, and we discuss its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment options.
