Proximal jejunal enteroliths, a rare form of small bowel pathology, involve calculi formation within the proximal ileum, leading to complications such as bowel obstruction and perforation. Due to their rarity and nonspecific presentation, enteroliths pose diagnostic and management challenges for clinicians. A 73-year-old male with a history of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth was admitted with acute abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction, and hypovolemic haemorrhagic shock.

We report the case of a woman presenting with small bowel obstruction secondary to an enterolith that formed within a jejunal diverticulum. Prior to this acute presentation, the patient had experienced regular abdominal pain albeit not as severe as the current episode. The CT scan on admission required review by two consultant radiologists before the cause of the small bowel obstruction was diagnosed.

Introduction And Importance: Small bowel diverticular disease (DD) is encountered and managed much less frequently than colonic DD, leading to a significantly less developed body of evidence for managing small bowel diverticulum and its associated complications.
Case Presentation: This case report discusses a rare occurrence of simultaneous perforated jejunal diverticulitis and mechanical small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to a migrating diverticular enterolith. The patient's condition was ultimately managed operatively through laparoscopically assisted small bowel resection.

Enterolithiasis is an uncommon entity in humans but frequently seen in equine mammals. A primary enterolith is a mineral concretion formed within the gastrointestinal tract due to the alteration in the anatomical integrity due to variety of conditions resulting in intestinal stasis. We report a patient with small intestinal obstruction due to a primary enterolith.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 78-year-old man revealed he had severe abdominal pain, and despite initial conservative treatment, he required laparoscopic surgery due to complications like intussusception and ischemia in the jejunum.
- * Post-surgery, the pathology showed chronic inflammation and necrosis in the small intestine, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis to differentiate small bowel diverticula from other conditions like jejunal intussusception.
