Giant sigmoid diverticulum: A case report

Abstract

The extension of the digestive tract in the form of a blunt sac that is lined with mucosa and connected to the lumen is called a diverticulum. Diverticula can be divided into two groups as congenital (true) and acquired (pseudo) diverticula. Most of the diverticula are seen in the descending colon and sigmoid colon, and in 65% of the cases, the disease is only in the sigmoid colon. Diverticula are usually 0.5 - 1 cm in size and are numerous. İt can rarely be single and giant in size. In this presentation, we present a case of a giant sigmoid diverticulum originating from the sigmoid colon fixed to the bladder and uterocervical junction with radiological and surgical images in the light of the literature.
