Jejunum diverticulum’s are generally pseudo diverticulum’s and located at mesenteric side. Jejunum diverticulum’s perforation is an unusual cause of acute abdomen. Segmental intestinal resection is recommended in surgical treatment. A 51 years old male patient was operated on due to acute abdomen. In the operation a perforation that was associated with solitary jejune diverticulums at location 15 cm far from the Treitz ligament was identified. Diverticulectomy and primary closure was performed.
