摘要
Acute diverticulitis is a prevalent medical condition with increasing incidence rates. While the sigmoid colon is the most commonly affected part of the large intestine, there have been occurrences of right-sided diverticulitis although uncommon. We present a case report highlighting the atypical presentation of diverticulitis in a 27-year-old female patient. The patient experienced right upper and epigastric pain and was ultimately diagnosed with right-sided diverticulitis, supported by her CT imaging findings. This uncommon presentation underscores the importance of considering diverse clinical manifestations when diagnosing and managing diverticulitis.
