ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Colic diverticulosis rarely occurs in the young and, in such cases, therefore requires search for a predisposing affection. OBSERVATION: A 25 year-old woman was hospitalised for abdominal pain and fever predominating in the right iliac fossa and leading to the diagnosis of right diverticular colitis. The clinical examination revealed features suggestive of an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. DISCUSSION: The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome combines cutaneous sensitivity and articular hypermobility related to abnormality in the supporting connective tissue. Colic diverticulosis is found among the complications. Diverticular colitis occurring in a young adult should lead to the search for an originating disease of the connective tissue.
