Diverticulitis Presenting as Emphysematous Cellulitis

Abstract

A case of diverticulitis of the large intestine which presented as an emphysematous cellulitis spreading down the leg from the left groin is considered of sufficient general interest to merit recording. This occuried in a patient under observation for another condition. A similar case which occurred in the hospital in 1908 has been recalled by a senior member of the staff and is also recorded.
