Case description

Scattered Patches of dark erythematous mucosa. The dark appearance of the patches suggest that the acute phase has passed. Colonic diverticular disease is a common problem in the Western world. The incidence of the disease increases with age but only a minority of these patients are symptomatic. Complications of diverticular disease, however, can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Studies about the natural history of diverticular disease, and the incidence of complications after an initial attack, have reported varying outcomes.
