Small bowel obstruction precipitated by intussusception of Meckel's diverticulum.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) secondary to intussusception of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain that may warrant urgent surgical treatment. Volvulus or intussusception of the small bowel with presence of MD as the lead point is the most commonly reported etiology of Meckel's related obstructions. We report an interesting case of a small bowel obstruction caused by the intussusception of an MD within its own lumen.
