Diverticular disease of colon is a rare entity in our country; true incidence of which is not known. We present three cases of diverticular disease, two with lower gastro-intestinal (GI) hemorrhage and one with sigmoid colon perforation and peritonitis. All three patients underwent emergency surgical treatment. Two patients survived and one died. No further complications were noted on follow up.
