Uncommon Presentations of Meckel?s Diverticulum in Adults: A Single Center Case Series Study

Dr. Harsh M. Soneji, Dr. S. C. Metgud


Abstract: Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital abnormality of gastrointestinal tract, resulting from an incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct during the 5th week of the gestation. It may generally remain silent and asymptomatic but life-threatening complications like perforation and intestinal obstruction can occur sometimes, making it important to know its detailed anatomy and pathophysiology. The most common complications of Meckel?s diverticulum are perforation, intestinal obstruction, hemorrhage, acute diverticulitis, etc. We are presenting five cases of Meckel?s diverticulum with varied presentations. Two cases presented as intestinal obstruction, one with perforation, one case of incidental Meckel?s diverticulum and one with intussusception.


Keywords: Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal obstruction, intussusception
