A Giant Perforated Meckel's Diverticulum With Fecalith Obstruction: A Case Report.

Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital malformation of the small intestines. This true diverticulum can lead to complications such as intestinal obstruction, bleeding, and rarely perforation, particularly in adults where the diagnosis is uncommon and often complicated by overlapping symptoms with conditions such as acute appendicitis. Giant Meckel's diverticulum (>5 cm) cases are extremely rare and pose significant clinical challenges due to severe complications.

Littre's hernia in children.

Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, which remains asymptomatic unless some complications occur. Littre's hernia is a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum, where it herniates into the hernial sac. It is difficult to diagnose this condition preoperatively.

Perforated Meckel's Diverticulum as a Rare Cause of Pneumoperitoneum in a Post-pubescent Adolescent: A Case Report.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is known to cause surgical emergencies including intussusception, obstruction, and bleeding, but rarely results in perforation with pneumoperitoneum. Symptomatic MD is rare but most commonly presents in early childhood. We report a case of a 17-year-old male who presented with peritonitis and radiographic imaging demonstrating pneumoperitoneum and inflammation near the appendix and terminal ileum.

Preoperative diagnosis of Meckel diverticulitis with and without perforation in adult: Two case reports.

Background: Meckel's diverticulum, a congenital anomaly arising from incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct, often remains asymptomatic but can lead to complications such as diverticulitis and perforation. These complications pose significant diagnostic challenges, especially in adults, and require prompt surgical intervention to achieve optimal outcomes.

Case Reports: We report two cases of complicated Meckel's diverticulum in adult male patients.

Internal hernia with small bowel obstruction caused by Meckel's diverticulum: A case report.

We report a case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by internal hernia from Meckel's diverticulum (MD). Abdominal CT scan showed an abnormal dilated blind-ending structure in continuity with the distal ileum in the right lower quadrant, suggesting Meckel's diverticulum. MPR images revealed a "double beak-sign" at the point of MD and a collapsed closed loop with mesenteric vessels converging to the diverticulum.

Enteric Duplication Cyst Associated With Meckel's Diverticulum: A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen.

We report a case of a 26-year-old type 1 diabetic woman presenting with acute lower abdominal pain, bloating, and vomiting. Initial examination revealed right lower quadrant tenderness and a suprapubic mass. Computed tomography (CT) imaging identified a 12-cm cystic structure suggestive of a dilated bowel loop with an adjacent inflamed 7-cm small bowel segment.

Postmortem CT and MRI for detecting bowel obstruction in cases of pediatric sepsis deaths.

This article describes the utility of postmortem CT and MRI in diagnosing pediatric bowel obstruction (BO) as the cause of septic shock-induced death. Six pediatric cases with confirmed septic shock were retrospectively analyzed. Postmortem CT scans revealed clear signs of BO in all cases, with volvulus, intussusception, diaphragmatic hernia, or Meckel's diverticulum identified.

A rare case of chicken wishbone in Meckel's diverticulum causing partial perforation and diverticulitis.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD), a rare congenital abnormality, can lead to issues like diverticulitis and bleeding. Foreign bodies in MD are even rarer, causing vague symptoms and perforation, requiring urgent surgery. This case report highlights a patient with a foreign body in MD, focusing on clinical presentation and management.

Polypoid heterotopic gastric mucosa: in terminal ileum causing extensive lower gastrointestinal bleeding without Meckel's diverticulum: a case report.

Background: Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) can be located in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. As a rare anomaly in the small intestine, it can become complicated by intussusception, obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, and even peritonitis, leading to death.

Case Presentation: This case report focuses on a 12-year-old Middle Eastern boy who presented with hematochezia and abdominal pain for a couple of days.

Laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction secondary to a mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum in an adult: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: The mesodiverticular band (MDB) of a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a rare, yet notable etiology of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in adults. Due to the nonspecific symptoms and challenging diagnosis thereof, preoperative clinical suspicion and strategic management are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes. Therefore, we presented a case in which laparoscopic surgery was strategically performed to alleviate ileus, due to a preoperative diagnosis of SBO, suspected to be secondary to an MD with a concomitant MDB.

A case of hemorrhagic Meckel's diverticulum diagnosed by transabdominal ultrasound.

A 23-year-old man with a history of anemia of unknown cause was referred to our hospital. He had experienced melena three times: at 6 months, 10 years, and 20 years of age. He underwent upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy at 10 and 20 years of age, and small intestinal capsule endoscopy twice at 20 years of age, but the site of bleeding could not be identified.

Can Pantoprazole be Used for Premedication in Meckel Scintigraphy?

Objectives: Meckel scintigraphy is used to diagnose Meckel's diverticulum. Previously, premedication with ranitidine was the most frequently used method to increase the accuracy of scintigraphy. However, ranitidine can no longer be used because it is banned by the Food and Drug Administration.

Coexistence of cecal duplication cyst and Meckel's diverticulum presenting as intestinal obstruction: A case report.

Introduction: Enteric duplication cysts (EDC) are rare anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract, with only 0.4 % occurring in the cecum. Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly affecting up to 2 % of the population.

Intestinal obstruction secondary to perforation of Meckel's diverticulum caused by dentures: a case report and review of literature.

Background: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. However, MD is rare in clinical practice, and perforation of a MD by a foreign body is even rarer. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult because there is often insufficient information; therefore it is usually diagnosed intraoperatively.

Ectopic "Ectopic" Gastric Mucosa.

Meckel's diverticulum is a developmental GI anomaly. It is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct (vitelline duct) and the most common congenital anomaly found in the small intestine. It contains ectopic/heterotopic gastric mucosa in half of the cases.
