Overview
Diverticulosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abdominal discomfort, bloating, and occasional bleeding, such as other diverticular diseases (diverticulitis and diverticular bleed), as well as other GI diseases, such as acute pancreatitis, colon cancer, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, bowel obstruction, volvulus, and appendicitis.
Differential Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of diverticulosis includes the following:[1]
- Diverticulitis
- Diverticular bleed
- Perforation / rupture
- Acute pancreatitis
- Intra-abdominal abscess
- Colon cancer and polyps
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Pseudomembranous colitis and other infectious colitis
- Ischemic colitis
- Appendicitis
- Bowel obstruction
- Volvulus
- Anal fissure
- Hemorrhoids
- Angiodysplasia
- Post-polypectomy
- GI bleed
- Ulcers (gastric or colonic)
