It is more often located in the sig moid colon. It is defined by a colonic diverticulum greater than 4 cm in diameter (medium size 4–9 cm) and is usually located at the anti-mesenteric border of the sigmoid colon [2]. It was first described in 1946, although <200 cases are reported in the lit erature, mostly as case reports. While GCD pathophysiology remains unclear, the ‘ball-valve’ theory is the most accepted. GCD should be managed with surgical excision.engjournal articlehttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/codi.15520https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33421280/restricted access611.348Diverticulo colonicoCiencias Biomédicas32 Ciencias Médicas
