ICD-11

Diverticulosis of small intestine is a condition characterised by the presence of multiple sack-like mucosal herniations called diverticula through weak points in the wall or lining of the small intestine. Small intestinal diverticula are far less common than colonic diverticula. Most people with diverticulosis do not have any discomfort or symptoms. However, some people may experience pain or discomfort in the abdomen, bloating, and bleeding.

This is the condition of having diverticula in the small intestine, which are outpocketings of the mucosa and submucosa through weaknesses of muscle layers in the wall of the small intestine, with haemorrhage.
