Major complications include diverticulitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute perforation, pancreatic or biliary (in the case of duodenal diverticula) disease, intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, localized abscess, malabsorption, anemia, volvulus and bacterial overgrowth. We describe the clinical case of a 37-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of small bowel obstruction with intussuception. Intraoperative finding of solitary diverticulum arising from mesenteric boarder of distal ileum inverted in to lumen forming lead point for intussuception, underwent ileal resection with ileoileal anastomosis. postoperative period uneventful.
