| Abstract: | Partial small bowel obstruction developed in a patient with associated giant sigmoid diverticulitis. This complication resulted from the wall of the diverticulum adhering to a loop of terminal ileum. Small bowel obstruction had not been observed in the 15 cases of giant sigmoid diverticula reported in the literature. |
