Abstract

|
|
|
Meckel`s diverticulum is the most common anomaly of the intestine. It is usually asymptomatic but approximately 4% are symptomatic with complications such as bleeding, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common presenting symptoms of Meckel`s diverticulum in children, however, intestinal obstruction is the most common complications in adult patients. Reported mechanism of intestinal obstruction in Meckel`s diverticulum include intussusception, adhesion, and volvulus. Recently, we experienced a case with Meckel`s diverticulum associated with ileal stricture causing recurrent partial intestinal obstruction in a 48-year-old man. In contrast to other published cases of small bowel obstruction in Meckel`s diverticulum, this case was caused by ileal stricture associated with Meckel`s diverticulum.
