Noun
/pseu̇-də-ˌdī-ˌvər-ti-ˈkyü-lō-səs/
Pseudodiverticulosis refers to a condition in which diverticulum-like protrusions appear in the intestinal wall, but unlike true diverticulosis, these protrusions do not involve all layers of the intestinal wall. This term is primarily used in medical contexts, particularly in gastroenterology. The frequency of use is relatively low compared to more commonly known medical terms, and it is more frequently encountered in written contexts, such as medical literature or textbooks, than in everyday spoken language.
Pseudodiverticulosis can sometimes be misdiagnosed as true diverticulosis, leading to unnecessary treatments.
Pseudodiverticulosis может иногда быть ошибочно диагностирована как истинная дивертикулез, что приводит к ненужным лечениям.
The imaging results showed signs of pseudodiverticulosis, prompting further investigation.
Результаты визуализации показали признаки псевдодивертикулеза, что побудило к дальнейшему исследованию.
Patients with pseudodiverticulosis may not exhibit symptoms as pronounced as those with diverticulitis.
Пациенты с псевдодивертикулёзом могут не проявлять симптомы так явно, как те, кто страдает от дивертикулита.
While "pseudodiverticulosis" itself is not commonly featured in idiomatic expressions, it can be discussed in the context of medical idioms or phrases that relate to health and wellness.

The term "pseudodiverticulosis" is derived from the Greek and Latin roots: "pseudo-" meaning false, "diverticulum" meaning a small pouch or sac, and "-osis" indicating a medical condition or abnormal state. Thus, it literally translates to "false diverticulum condition."
