Jejunal diverticulosis is generally considered to be an innocuous condition, but serious complications can arise and lead to acute or chronic syndromes. In this report, we describe a case of jejunal diverticulitis presenting with an abdominal wall abscess. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of jejunal diverticulitis complicated by fistula formation leading to the development of an abdominal wall abscess. Because jejunal diverticula generally localize at the mesenteric border and their perforation tends to result in intra-abdominal abscess formation, we speculate that the abdominal wall abscess described in our case here was due to adhesions of jejunal loops to the abdominal wall secondary to previous abdominal surgeries.
