Jejunal diverticula are rare, acquired lesions seen in elderly patients. Most of the cases are asymptomatic, and are generally detected incidentally. Symptoms, if present, include nonspecific chronic abdominal pain and malabsorption. They may be associated with complications like hemorrhage, diverticulitis, obstruction or perforation. Diverticular perforation is rare, occurring only in around 5-6% of all patients. We present a rare case of 76 year old male with acute abdomen associated with jejunal diverticular perforation and review the literature on this complication.
