Complicated giant diverticulum of the transverse colon accompanied by right inguinal hernia of the greater omentum

Giant colonic diverticulum is a very rare entity in colonic diverticular disease and is characterized by a high rate of complications such as perforation, abscess formation and even carcinoma. We report a case of a complicated giant diverticulum of the transverse colon accompanied by a right inguinal hernia of the greater omentum in a 52-year-old man, as demonstrated on CT.
