Abstract

Background: Sigmoid diverticulitis is a common abdominal disease that may require emergency treatment. The prognosis depends on the potentially dangerous complications, in particular pylephlebitis and hepatic abscess.

Case Report: We report the case of a patient with sigmoid diverticulitis, due to the ingestion of a foreign body, impacted in a diverticulum, complicated by pylephlebitis and hepatic abscess. The patient was treated by endoscopic extraction of the foreign body, antibiotic therapy and anticoagulation. Evolution was favorable.

Keywords: Diverticulitis; Pylephelbitis; Foreign Body; Liver Abscess; CT-Scan
