Intussusception secondary to inverted Meckel’s diverticulum resulting in intestinal obstruction is rare. The following is a case report that discusses a 29-year-old female who posed diagnostic uncertainty for the treating surgical team and ultimately underwent emergency surgery for the management of intestinal obstruction. Small bowel intussusception was diagnosed preoperatively on abdominal computer tomography (CT). At operation, it was found to be secondary to inverted Meckel’s diverticulum with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Small bowel volvulus secondary to Meckel’s diverticulum is rare, and a delayed diagnosis results in disastrous outcomes. Computed tomography is conducive to early differential diagnosis. In particular, a blind-ending pouch structure on CT always indicates Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with or without adjacent partial small intestinal resection is the standard treatment for symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. However, the therapy for asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is controversial. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old man who suffered intestinal obstruction secondary to small bowel volvulus caused by an axially torsional, gangrenous, and giant Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with partial intestinal resection was performed.

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality affecting the gastrointestinal tract, affecting 4% of the general population. It is classically located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum within 100 cm of the ileocaecal valve. Complications may include haemorrhage, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, perforation and malignancy. This report explores the case of intussusception in an adult, in association with a mesenteric Meckel’s diverticulum and adjacent benign polyp. A 40-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain, affecting the central abdomen and both flanks. CT imaging revealed small bowel intussusception, with either a Meckel’s diverticulum or polyp acting as a lead point. Intraoperatively, the intussusception had already resolved; however, an inflamed outpouching was identified on the mesenteric border of the ileum, with a firm mass palpable within the bowel lumen. A 70 mm small bowel resection and primary anastomosis were performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed an inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum as well as an adjacent diverticulum comprising a benign polyp.
