It is defined by the existence of multiple diverticula, which are located most frequently in the jejunum. Diagnosis often occurs following the presentation of related complications such as diverticulitis, haemorrhage, perforation or obstruction. Intestinal obstruction can be caused by inflammatory stenosis due to repeated episodes of diverticulitis, volvulus, intussusception or the presence of enteroliths. Here, we report a case of multiple jejunal diverticula causing acute intestinal obstruction.

In these cases, rechallenge with tamoxifen was not carried out. We report a case of recurrent severe acute pancreatitis in a 44-year-old female induced by tamoxifen therapy and review the literature with regards to tamoxifen-associated pancreatitis. Clinicians should be aware of the risks of developing severe acute pancreatitis when using tamoxifen therapy. If tamoxifen is suspected as the probable causative agent, rechallenge with this drug should be prohibited.
