Acute gastrointestinal bleeding due to
Meckel's diverticulum heterotopic gastric mucosa.
Incerceration of
Meckel's diverticulum in an inguinal hernia.
The various reasons for intussusceptions were analysed with histopathological findings showed
Meckel's diverticulum in 30 cases (50%), submucosal lymphoid hyperplasia 19 (31.9%), inflamed appendix 8 (13.3%), submucosal haematoma 1 (1.6%), polyp
Other causes were as follows: perforation of
Meckel's diverticulum (8 patients, 22.8%), phytobezoar (6 patients, 17.1%), non-specific inflammation (5 patients, 14.2%), intestinal tuberculosis (3 patients, 8.5%), multiple perforations (possibly due to microembolism; one patient, 2.8%), radiation enteritis (1 patient, 2.8%), and a foreign body (fishbone; one patient, 2.8%) (Table-III) (Fig.
Double-balloon enteroscopy can be a reliable diagnostic tool for bleeding
Meckel's diverticulum in children with negative Meckel's scan.
The preoperative diagnosis was either a massive
Meckel's diverticulum or a small intestinal tumour.
Five minutes after injection of Tc-99m, continuous uptake was observed in the right mid-abdomen, consistents with
Meckel's diverticulum [Figure 1]a, and computed tomography revealed a suspicious enhancing cystic structure at the ileum, which was also consistent with
Meckel's diverticulum [Figure 1]b.
Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest congenital anomaly in the gastrointestinal system, though being most often detected as an incidental finding.
In the published English literature, the lesion was located in the ileum in approximately 75% of pediatric patients in whom the site of the lesion was determined, and
Meckel's diverticulum was identified in 16.6% of them (1-4, 7).
An uncommon location of
Meckel's diverticulum or small intestine duplication?: case report and literature review.
The liver, kidney, lung, heart, spleen, bursa of Fabricius,
Meckel's diverticulum, proventriculus, rectum, brain, and gizzard samples were collected and fixed in formalin.
If there is functional gastric mucosa in a
Meckel's diverticulum, uptake is seen in the diverticulum at approximately the same time as the stomach mucosa is visualised.
