Abstract
The preoperative diagnosis of ileal diverticulitis has been reported during small-bowel
series when inflammatory changes are associated with ileal diverticula. Previous CT
reports of this entity have failed to establish the specific diagnosis preoperatively.
We report the CT findings in a patient with right lower quadrant pain that enabled
the specific diagnosis of ileal diverticulitis to be made.
