Diverticula are abnormal sac-like outpouchings of mucosa through the muscle layers, usually in the wall of the sigmoid colon. This condition is known as diverticulosis, and occurs when small defects in the muscle of the wall of the large intestine or colon allow small pockets or pouches (diverticula) to form.
Diverticulitis is the infection of inflammation of these abnormal pouches.
Diverticular disease is the most common in older people, but the incidence is increasing in younger individuals, particularly when much of the diet consists of refined foods.
