✦ Synopsis

While diverticulosis of the colon is a relatively common disease, a solitary giant diverticulum (GD) of the sigmoid is rare. Although there exist some theories about the formation of a GD, none is really conclusive. Symptoms are similar to diverticular disease, and diagnosis is easy with the aid of radiology. Early surgical treatment is necessary since the complication rate is high (19%).
