Abstract:

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is a congenital outpouching or bulge in the lower part of the small intestine. It is the most common congenital defect of the gastrointestinal tract. MD is usually asymptomatic but when symptomatic, typically presents in childhood. Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal system. It originates from failure of the vitelline duct to obliterate completely, which is usually located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum. Its incidence is between 1% and 3%. Meckel’s diverticulum occurs with equal frequency in both sexes, but s

Abstract:

Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum of the small intestine. Complications include perforation, inflammation, bleeding, obstruction, and volvulus. Resection of asymptomatic Meckel's diverticuli has been recommended; however, indications are not well defined. To delineate indications to resect asymptomatic Meckel's diverticulum, the charts of 16 men and 13 women, mean age 55.1 ± 23 years, confirmed at surgery with Meckel's diverticuli, were retrospectively reviewed. Two groups were identified: symptomatic resected (9); asymptomatic (20), which included resected (10) or not resecte

Abstract:

BACKGROUND Meckel’s diverticulum is a common congenital malformation of the small intestine, with the three most common complications being obstruction, perforation, and inflammation. To date, only a few cases have been reported worldwide. In children, the clinical symptoms are similar to appendicitis. As most of the imaging features are nonspecific, the preoperative diagnosis is not precise. In addition, the clinical characteristics are highly similar to pediatric acute appendicitis, thus special attention is necessary to distinguish Meckel’s diverticulum from pediatric appendicitis.

Inflammatory process progression may be accompanied by bleeding, invagination, intestinal obstruction, diverticulum abscess and perforation with peritonitis development.

Background: Meckel’s diverticulum is a prevalent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting from the incomplete closure of the vitelline duct during the fifth week of gestation. Although often asymptomatic, it can lead to severe complications such as perforation, intestinal obstruction, hemorrhage, and acute diverticulitis. Understanding its anatomy and pathophysiology is crucial. The study aims to highlight the presentation of this disease and raise awareness among clinicians to ensure early intervention, ultimately reducing associated morbidity and mortality.

Background - Meckels diverticulum is a congenital malformation caused by malabsorption of the yolk intestine. It has been reported that the left and right yolk arteries, which are nutrient vessels, can become mesodiverticular bands and cause intestinal obstruction in symptomatic Meckels diverticulum.Intestinalobstruction due to meso-diverticular band of Meckels diverticulum is one of the rarest complications of Meckels diverticulum.Mesodiverticular band is a rarely reported cause of small bowel obstruction in Meckels diverticulum in geriatric population in medical history.

Abstract Introduction The Littre hernia is a rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum. Meckel's diverticulum is vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct occurring in approximately 2% of the general population with an estimated 4 to 16% risk of complications. Usual sites of the Littre hernia include inguinal (50%), umbilical (20%), and femoral (20%). We report a case of an acquired transthoracic Littre's hernia occurring through the left part of the diaphragm triggered by a history of traumatic rib fractures associated with alcohol abuse.

Introduction: Intussusception in adults, especially when caused by Meckel's Diverticulum, is a rare occurrence, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea, making it challenging to diagnose. When concurrent with conditions like diabetes mellitus, the situation need particular care. Case Illustration: A 27-year-old male with a medical history of diabetes presented with severe right abdominal pain, nausea, and a reduced appetite. Initial symptomatic treatment did not alleviate the condition. Subsequent CT scans revealed an ileo-ileal intussusception triggered by

Background/Aim. Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent anomaly of the small intestine. It appears after incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric or viteline duct which normally obliterates and disappears by the 9th week of gestation. The majority of MD do not give rise to any clinical symptoms and are encounted either incidentally, at examination or intervention, or due to complications which may occur (obstruction, hemorrhagy, rupture), and are described in many clinical reports. The aim of the study was to find out the incidence of MD in fetuses when the development of the a

Abstract:

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, characterized by an outpouching in the terminal ileum. It can be symptomatic in various ways, most commonly causing ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. Complications such as bleeding, perforation, diverticulitis, or intestinal obstruction may develop in approximately 4% of patients. Diagnosis can be challenging, but a CT scan is often the tool of choice, particularly for identifying complications.

Meckel’s diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum. Mostly it is asymptomatic. In children the commonest complication is lower GI bleeding. High index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis.

Surgical treatment of symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is diverticulectomy or ileal resection.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i1.9523J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(1):54-56
