Background: Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is detected in approximately 2% of all individuals and only 2-4% MD patients may develop symptoms. Small intestinal obstruction is a frequent complication in adults. Case report: A 48-year-old male was admitted to emergency department for high intestinal obstruction symptoms. The imaging examinations were failed to detect the underlying causes. A median laparotomy revealed small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to a segment of ileum twisted around a giant MD axis. Conclusion: Thus, a giant MD generating torsion of ileum is an unusual complication. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging. Emergency surgery is preferred to make an accurate diagnosis and for treatment.

One of the commonest causes of small intestinal obstruction in India is tuberculosis. The terminal ileum and ileocaecal junction are the most common sites of small bowel involvement, and the most common abnormality is short-segment strictures. We report a patient who presented with small intestinal obstruction due to a solitary ileal stricture, but turned out to be a rare condition that can mimic intestinal tuberculosis. A 60-years-old man, with recurrent episodes of pain abdomen for 1 year, presented to our surgical emergency with evidence of small intestinal obstruction. A CT scan revealed a short segment stricture (2.7 cm) in mid ileal loop with luminal narrowing and marked proximal dilation of proximal ileal loops with a few sub centimetric mesenteric lymph nodes. On laparotomy with a suspected diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis, it turned to be an adenocarcinoma of the ileum- a rare condition that can mimic intestinal tuberculosis. One of the commonest causes of small intestinal obstruction in India is abdominal tuberculosis. However, all cases of small intestinal obstruction are not tuberculosis. Adenocarcinoma of ileum is a very rare entity. This case report shows that a surgeon should have a high index of suspicion in an elderly patient presenting with small intestinal obstruction, with CT demonstrating isolated short-segment small bowel thickening, as it could be a presentation of obstructing type adenocarcinoma of the small intestine.
