What happens during the disease - diverticular disease of small intestine with perforation and abscess
Diverticular disease of the small intestine is a condition in which small pouches form in the walls of the intestine due to weakening of the muscle layers. these pouches can become inflamed, leading to diverticulitis. if the inflammation is severe, it can cause a perforation in the wall of the intestine, allowing bacteria and other contents of the intestine to leak into the abdominal cavity. this can lead to the formation of an abscess, a pocket of infected fluid that can cause further inflammation and other complications.
