Most diverticula are asymptomatic, but some become inflamed or bleed. Diagnosis is by colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, barium enema, CT, or MRI. Asymptomatic diverticulosis requires no treatment. When symptoms develop, treatment varies depending on clinical manifestations. Diverticulitis is inflammation with or without infection of a diverticulum, which can result in phlegmon of the bowel wall, peritonitis, perforation, fistula, or abscess. The primary symptom is abdominal pain. Diagnosis is by CT. Treatment is with bowel rest, sometimes antibiotics, and occasionally surgery. #diverticulosis #diverticulitis #colonic Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
