ABSTRACT

Rectal diverticulum is rarely seen in clinical practice.Perforation or rupture of rectal diverticulum with symptoms and signs of acute diffuse peritonitis makes it easily be misdiagnosed as appendicitis,rectal neoplasms,intestinal obstruction and other abdominal diseases.In this article,a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of one patient with extraperitoneal pneumatosis caused by perforation of rectal diverticulum was performed to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
