<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>El divertículo de Meckel complicado es poco frecuente en el adulto. Presentamos un paciente de 19 años de edad, con dolor abdominal de 11 horas de evolución, encontrando al realizar la laparotomía exploradora un divertículo de Meckel gigante, necrosado y volvulado. Las presentaciones más frecuentes del divertículo de Meckel son la obstrucción intestinal y la diverticulitis, esta última da una sintomatología similar a la apendicitis aguda,por lo que al realizar la exploración quirúrgica y encontrar el apéndice cecal normal, se debe visualizar los últimos 180 cm de íleo terminal.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Meckel's diverticulum is rare in adults. We present a 19-year-old patient with abdominal pain of 11 hours of evolution, finding a giant Meckel diverticulum, necrotic and volvulated, when performing the exploratory laparotomy. The most frequent presentations of Meckel's diverticulum are intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis, the latter being a symptomatology similar to acute appendicitis, surgical surgery and the normal cecal appendix, the last 180 cm of terminal ileum should be visualized.<strong></strong></p>

Typical Picture

A 20 years old male patient presented to KHMC emergency room in the fifth of August 2015 with typical picture of acute appendicitis. Patient was admitted and decision for appendectomy was taken for the next two hours. Appendectomy done as usual through a small grid iron incision and a normally looking appendix removed which didn’t explain what happened with patient earlier, so we decided to look for other pathologies (like meckel’s diverticulum) and upon gently pulling out terminal ileum a second appendix shown in the field originated from ileocecal junction toward ileal mesenteric side 4 centimeter posterior to first appendix which was looking severely inflamed and was removed as usual.

Meckel’S Diverticulitis

Meckel’s diverticulum is the rare congenital anomaly in children. When inflamed it can mimic acute appendicitis. The distal end of the Meckel’s diverticulum is usually rounded and narrow. We present a case of partially bifid Meckel’s diverticulum in a young boy who presented with features of recurrent appendicitis. During appendectomy, a bifid Meckle’s diverticulum was found in therein the distal ileum. It was excised with V shaped ileal wall. Histopathology showed features of Meckel’s diverticulum without any Gastric or pancreatic tissue in mucosa. Clinicians should be wary of a bifid meckel’s diverticulum as a very rare anomaly that can be symptomatic mimicking appendicitis.Keywords: Bifid, Meckel’s, Diverticulitis
