Patent Omphalomesenteric Duct with Protruding Bowels through a Ruptured Omphalocele
[8] Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the small intestine and it is caused by an incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct. Although, Meckel's diverticulum generally remains silent but life-threatening complications may arise making it an important structure for having a detailed knowledge of its anatomical and pathophysiological properties to deal with such complications.
Management of Meckel's diverticulum--a retrospective study in a tertiary care Centre
Meckel's diverticulum is the result of incomplete obliteration of the vitelline or omphalomesenteric duct and is the commonest congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal system [3].

A peri-umbilical incision was made, and a 3 cm length of distal ileum that had prolapsed through a patent omphalomesenteric duct was reduced (Fig.
Intestinal prolapse through a persistent omphalomesenteric duct causing small-bowel obstruction
When it persists it can result in a number of diverse anomalies like entero-umbilical fistula, umbilical sinus, persistent fibrous cord, mesodiverticular vascular band, omphalomesenteric duct cyst, strawberry umbilical tumor.
An unusual case of small bowel obstruction due to incarcerated Littre's Hernia: a case report
Meckels diverticulum is a persistent remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct. It presents the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine (1-4%).
An unusual case of intestinal obstruction caused by mesodiverticular band and Meckels diverticulum
DISCUSSION: Though the first recorded observation of an ileal diverticulum has been attributed to Fabricius Hildamus in 1650, Littre reported its presence in a hernia in 1745 and Meckel first described its association with the omphalomesenteric duct. The omphalomesenteric duct connects the yolk sac to the intestinal tract during early fetal life.
