Acute Abdomen Secondary to Giant Cecal Diverticulum

Cecal diverticulum presenting with acute abdomen is a rare entity, representing for surgeons a challenging preoperatory diagnosis, due to its low incidence and similarity with other frequent etiologies for abdominal pain. This is a case of a patient presenting to the emergency room with acute abdomen and absence of the risk factors described for this disease, with a successful management and outcome.
