Jejunoileal diverticula are rare and often asymptomatic. However, they may lead to complications that manifest clinically with symptoms of acute abdomen. Diagnosis of complicated diverticular disease is difficult and depends on the result of surgical exploration. Resection and primary end-to-end anastomosis is the preferred method of treatment. The case of a 60-year old woman with a massive small bowel hemorrhage due to diverticular disease is described.
