Abstract
|
|
|
|
Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly that results from an incomplete obliteration of omphalomesenteric duct. But only 10% of Meckel’s diverticulums are symptomatic. The most common presentation in children is painless rectal bleeding, while intestinal obstruction is more common in adults. Obstruction with a Meckel’s diverticulum is usually attributed to intussusception, volvulus, inflammatory adhesion, or an internal hernia. Author’s experienced multi-directionally rotated Meckel’s diverticulum causes intestinal obstruction with gangrenous change in a child and removed successfully with laparoscopic assistance. To our knowledge, this appears to be a first case report of a torsion of Meckel’s diverticulum associated with intestinal obstruction in Korea, which was treated by laparoscopic procedure.
