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]

Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard
