Brenizer, Charlotte:I also had a case of diverticulum of the jejunum, which Spontaneous Rupture of the Heart (F. P. McNamara, J. C. Hancock & C. C. Coady, Dubuque,in Jl. Iowa Med. Soc, May)In our series of 445 autopsies, coronary sclerosis andthrombosis with cardiac infarction has been the most fre-quent specific cause of death in heart disease. Among37 cases of coronary disease there were 3 instances of spon-taneous rupture of the left ventricle with hemopericardium; y ^. • v__ j^fc*., had previously shown up in an x-ray examination. Thewoman finally came into the hospital with a high obstruc-tion. The diverticulum had twisted the jejunum aroundand partly invaginated it, producing the obstruction. Thediverticulum had a distinct and separate blood supply, wasmade up of all coats of the intestine, and was thereforejudged to be congenitally formed instead of an acquireddiverticulum. I think congenital diverticula of the jejunummust be rare and, for that matter, the jejunum rarely showseither congenital or acquired diverticula. A case of acute appendicitis in an infant 3 weeksof age is reported in the Journal of the Arkansas Medi-cal Society. occasionally it may be mistaken by clinicians for someacute abdominal condition. It is also of clinical interestbecause of its relationship to coronary sclerosis. The con-dition is of especial interest because of the underlying path ?ology and also because of the medicolegal asp
