Background: Meckel’s diverticulum is a true diverticulum consisting of a 3-layered outpouching of the bowel wall along the antimesenteric border. It is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct and the most common congenital gastrointestinal disorder. It has a male predilection and remains asymptomatic in the majority of cases. It constitutes a diagnostic challenge to physicians, as it can present with gastrointestinal bleeding in the pediatric population, and as an intestinal obstruction in adults. While the management of an asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is on a case-by-case basis, when symptomatic, prompt surgical intervention is necessary, and a laparoscopic approach allows both in-situ diagnosis and treatment. Case Report: A 23-year-old previously healthy female patient, presented with diffuse abdominal pain, vomiting, and obstipation. Abdominal X-Ray and abdominopelvic Computed Tomography showed an intra-abdominal inflammatory process and evidence of bowel obstruction but were not conclusive. The patient was admitted to the hospital for management, and on the third day of hospitalization physical examination showed abdominal guarding suggestive of peritonitis. An urgent exploratory laparotomy identified a Meckel’s Diverticulum obstructed with phytobezoar grape seeds, and an inflamed and perforated bowel wall, with adhesive bands to proximal small bowel loops, necrosis, and resultant small bowel obstruction. We resected the Meckel’s diverticulum and the necrotic bowel and performed an end-to-end primary anastomosis of the small bowel. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Conclusion: The diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum remains a challenge as it has a myriad of clinical presentation and radiological imaging sometimes fails to provide a definite diagnosis. It must be systematically included in the differential diagnosis of small bowel obstruction in adult patients, as it requires prompt surgical intervention for both diagnosis and treatment.

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. Small bowel obstruction due to mesodiverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication. Herein, we report the diagnosis and management of a small bowel obstruction occurring due to mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum.

Background: Meckel Diverticulum is the most common congenital gastrointestinal malformation, which is 40% of cases have symptoms of intestinal obstruction. The prevalence of this disorder is between 1% and 4% of the population and the possibility of its occurring in men is twice that women. Most of Meckel diverticulums are asymptomatic so it is difficult to diagnose properly the Meckel diverticulum before surgery it may not be detectable because of other intra-abdominal complications such as appendicitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or other causes of small bowel obstruction,Case Report: The patient was a 28-year-old man who had abdominal pain with repeated vomiting two days earlier. In abdominal and pelvic CT scans, the dilatation of small bowel loops with screw loops around the arterial origin and upper mesenteric vein and the mesenteric root has been reported. Due to the lack of clinical improvement, the patient was transferred to the operating room for laparotomy. In the operating room, a large adhesive band of about 60 cm of the ileocecal valve was released, and the broad and inflamed diverticulitis was removed at a base of about 2 to 2.5 cm.Conclusion: Detecting Meckel’s diverticulum with no sign from normal colon using a CT scan is difficult, but laparoscopy as a useful tool in the diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum has been reported. The care standard of Meckel’s diverticulum is a surgical procedure for the removal of complications. Surgical methods used include simple diverticulectomy or removing part of the ileum that diverticulum is located. For proper diagnosis especially in patients with unusual symptoms, It is necessary that the symptoms of diverticulum are consideredInternational Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 01 January’19.
