Case description

Currently, diverticulosis remains the most common cause of the lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Diverticulosis of the colon is an acquired disease whose incidence increases with age, peaking after the 6th decade of life. More than 50% of octogenarians have diverticulosis, while only 1 to 2% of people under the age of 30 have evidence of diverticulosis.
