Diverticulosis, Diverticulitis
|
PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Diverticulosis: small sac-like
mucosal herniations in the muscular wall of the colon. Diverticulitis:
infection of inflammation of one or several diverticula, potentially
causing fatal obstruction of perforation, or the development of fistulas.

|
PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The most common involved
area is the sigmoid colon. Diverticula are seen in 20%-50% of the population
over 50 years old in Western civilizations. The suspected development
factor is increased intraluminal pressure (e.g. from chronic constipation)
hat causes the colonic outpouchings to form at the weak areas where
arteries penetrate the muscularis. Diverticulitis follows bacterial
or fecal contamination of the colonic tissues in or around the diverticular
sac, perhaps involving perforation and serosal or peritoneal inflammation.
