Small Intestinal Amyloidosis: A Rare Cause of Diverticular Disease

To draw attention to this rare but potentially harmful association, we herein present an additional case of small bowel diverticular disease associated with amyloidosis.

It is commonly thought that abnormal colonic motility plays an important pathophysiologic role in this condition, even though other factors such as genetic predisposition,...
متن کاملColonic diverticular disease: abnormalities of neuromuscular function.
Although diverticular disease of the colon (diverticulosis) is a frequent finding in Western countries, its pathophysiologic grounds are still only partially understood. Traditionally considered as an age-related condition, colonic diverticulosis is probably the final result of several factors concurring together to determine the anatomo-functional abnormalities eventually causing outpouching o...
متن کاملEpidemiology of perforated colonic diverticular disease.
Perforated colonic diverticular disease results in considerable mortality and morbidity. This review appraises existing evidence on the epidemiology and mechanisms of perforation, highlights areas of further study, and suggests an epidemiological approach towards preventing the condition. Computerised searches were used to identify published articles relating to the epidemiology, pathophysiolog...
متن کاملMassive bleeding from colonic diverticular disease with NSAID use.
Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are not only associated with bleeding in the stomach and duodenum, but can also complicate pre-existing diverticular disease of the colon. Here, a 58 year-old male with severe per rectal bleeding is presented and the role of NSAID as a causative factor of his problem is discussed.
