Jejunal diverticulosis with massive hemorrhage
Am J Gastroenterol.

Abstract
A case of a relatively uncommon disease, jejunal, diverticulosis, is reported. The case presented an unusual complication, massive melena. The patient was successfully treated and cured by resection of the involved portion of jejunum. In the management of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in the elderly one must always have in mind this infrequent pathological entity, especially when the small bowel is suspected as the site of bleeding.
