Although obstruction is described in the literature, its occurrence due to an internal hernia caused by a fibrous band generated from a gigantic diverticulum is exceptional. This presentation aims to illustrate an exceptionally rare case of a gigantic MD responsible for a bowel obstruction due to the constriction caused by a fibrous band.
