Insome of the larger diverticula the lining ofepithelium is more or less obliterated, dueto the continued pressure of the fecal con-tents. There is no obvious reason for believ-ing that the formation of a simple colondiverticulum will necessarily be the sourceof symptoms. In fact, we frecpiently findevidence of diverticula on the .I-ray platewithout the patient presenting any localSMiiptom. It is apparent that only whenpathologic changes take place that are sec-ondarv to the diverticula do the patientscomplain. It is difficult to estimate whatpercentage of diverticula have inflamma-tory changes such as to produce symp-toms. Telling estimates that 60 per cent ofall persons having colon diverticula may_have symptoms. It is clear, therefore, that the recogni-tion of inflammatory sequelae is of ut-most importance in the consideration ofmultiple diverticuli
