Formation of colonic diverticuli The most commonly known colonic diverticuli are pseudo diverticuli – composed of only mucosa on the luminal side and serosa externally. Why are these called “pseudo” or false? Diverticuli resemble hernias of the colonic wall in that they occur @ sites of entry of mucosal arteries as they pass through the muscularis – this represents a weak spot that leads to a diverticulum if the individual generates high colonic intraluminal pressure (low fiber diet)
