Rare Case Report

Meckel's diverticulum is a remnant of embryologic omphalomesenteric duct. It is the most common congenital anomaly in gastrointestinal tract with the incidence of about 2% in the population. About 80% of them are asymptomatic and remaining can present with complications such as bleeding, ulcer, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, diverticulitis and perforation. Meckel's diverticular perforation by a foreign body is a rare complication. Here we report a case of Meckel's diverticular perforation by a foreign body in a case of acute appendicitis. A 50 year old male patient presented to emergency department with signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis . Abdomen opened through Mc Burney's incision, appendix found to be inammed and a sh bone perforating the Meckel's diverticulum was incidentally found, appendicectomy and Meckel's diverticulectomy was performed. Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by a foreign body is a diagnostic challenge pre operatively. It is suggested to make it a routine practice to look for the presence of Meckel's diverticulum in all lower abdominal surgeries.

Abstract Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and affects 1% - 4% of the general population. Most patients are asymptomatic throughout their lives, but it is estimated that 4% - 6% will have some symptoms, which usually occur due to abdominal complications. This study aimed to report a rare case of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by intestinal intussusception.

Littre Hernia

A Meckel’s diverticulum is a remnant of the vitelline duct, which leads to the formation of a true diverticulum containing all layers of the small intestine. The diverticulum can contain ectopic gastric, duodenal or pancreatic tissue and is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract with estimates of prevalence ranging from 0.3% to 3%. The condition is usually clinically silent. In children the most common complication is gastrointestinal bleeding caused by ulceration due to the acid secretion by ectopic gastric mucosa.
