99mTc-PERTECHNETATE SCAN IN DIAGNOSING MECKEL’S DIVERTICULUM

Abstract

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is one of the commonest congenital anomaly of the gastro-intestinal tract involving the small bowel. A pre-operative diagnosis of a MD is often difficult to make. 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy is helpful in diagnosing the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. We had a 2 year old boy presented with blood stained stool for 3 months. While abdominal ultrasound and upper gastroiintestinal endoscopy could not make the diagnosis. 99mTc-Pertechnetate scan showed abnormally increased tracer uptake in the umbilical region. He then underwent diagnostic laparoscopy and open resection of the MD and end to end anastomosis. The resected specimen subsequently found to contain gastric mucosa on histopathological examination. Here in, we discused the case in view of the literature.
