Small bowel diverticulosis (SBD) is a rare condition. In most cases it is asymptomatic, but sometimes it can be manifested with chronic non-specific or acute symptoms. Because of the absence of pathognomonic signs and symptoms and truly reliable diagnostic tests, SBD is hard to diagnose and this is usually done incidentally by radiographic examination or during laparatomy. For uncomplicated patients, those with chronic abdominal pain, syndromes of malabsorption related to jejunoileal diverticulosis, bacterial overgrowth or an episode of intestinal obstruction, as in our case, conservative management is the initial option for treatment. A case of a patient with obstructive symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract due to SBD that was conservatively treated and had a positive outcome is presented.
