“1829, University of Groningen, Annales Academiae groninganae, Commentatio de diverticulus intestinorum, page 69”

Baillie provided an example of a diverticulum connected with defects extended by an abnormal formative impulse. To that point naturally it is found in a foetus, to whom an inverted position of all the internal organs of the abdomen and thorax is present, together with a separation of the spleen into five lobes, as is usual in cetaceans.
