Olguların çoğunluğu asemptomatiktir, en sık komplikasyonları; inflamasyon, kanama ve barsak tıkanıklıklardır.

Volvular Small Bowel Obstruction Due to Meckel's Diverticulum; A Case Report

Abstract

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract and found in approximately 2% of the population. Most patients are asymptomatic, the most common complications are inflammation, hemorrhage and intestinal obstruction. Here we present a volvulus case that is extremely rare complication of MD, in a 3 years old boy. This complication should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a child presents with the clinical and imaging features of intestinal obstruction
