The authors report two cases of acquired diverticulae of the small intestine with complications and study of pathological, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of this rare disease. Usually latent, these diverticulae were recognised generally during diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction, perforation or hemorrhage. The treatment was either removal of the diverticulum or segmental resection of the small intestine. Diverticulitis of the terminal ileum may lead to right ileo-colectomy.
