Background. The study was to analyze the clinical manifestation variety and management choices of symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum in children. Methods. From July 2008 to October 2018, 28 cases of Meckel’s diverticulum with a variety of complications were admitted to our hospital. The clinical data included age, gender, symptoms and signs, investigations, intraoperative and pathological findings, and outcome. Results. The ratio of males to females was 2.5 : 1. The diagnoses were made by 99mTc-pertechnetate scan (in 5 cases) and by exploratory laparotomy (in 2 cases). The initial diagnosis in the other cases includes intussusception (in 4 cases), acute appendicitis (in 5 cases), intestinal obstruction (unknown origin), peritonitis, and even shock in 12 cases. Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 8 cases; 18 cases underwent open surgery. Excision of partial bowel segment with diverticulum and primary anastomosis was done in 22 cases and wedge resection of diverticulum in 4 cases. Two other cases received nonoperative therapy and went to other hospitals to receive surgical management. Ectopic gastric mucosa in the diverticulum was found in 9 cases, including 6 cases with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusion. The clinical characteristics of Meckel’s diverticulum varied. Children with hematochezia, peritonitis, and intestinal obstruction without history of prior abdominal operation should be suspected with this disease until proven otherwise. Hematochezia is often associated with ectopic gastric mucosa in the diverticulum. Laparoscopic surgery should be one of the choices for the diagnosis and treatment of Meckel’s diverticulum with complications.

Umbilical Polyp

THE PURPOSE of this paper is to report a recent case of an umbilical polyp and intestinal obstruction during the neonatal period. Umbilical polyps are rare. When present, they may be associated with Meckel's diverticulum because both are remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct. The presence of the visible polyp may give an external clue to otherwise obscure intraabdominal symptoms. A review of the literature earlier than 1916 is well summarized in a book by Thomas Cullen. This unusual volume lists six cases of umbilical polyp accompanied by other pathologic complications of Meckel's diverticulum. This author stressed that in these cases it should be pointed out to either the patient or his parents that possible intra-abdominal duct remnants may, at any time, give rise to symptoms such as intestinal obstruction. Penberthy and Benson reported a 9-year-old male with an umbilical polyp which had been present since birth and was without discharge. This youngster died following operation for intestinal obstruction due to volvulus about the diverticulum and its fibrous connection with the umbilical polyp. These authors pleaded for early elective operations in these cases prior to such complications. Gross gave other reasons for observation, and exploration at a reasonably early age, if a Meckel's diverticulum is suspected. Peritonitis from a ruptured Meckel's diverticulum is peculiarly dangerous; in young children the protecting omentum is inadequate and the migrating nature of the anomaly adds to the danger. Fluid from perforation of a diverticulum is usually of greater volume than that found in appendiceal rupture and abscess.
