Meckel’s diverticulum can manifest with various complications such as obstruction, intussusception, inflammation or diverticulitis, perforation, haemorrhage and fistula, and commonly manifests in children. Adult intussusception due to inverted Meckel’s diverticulum is an uncommon aetiology of intestinal obstruction but should be suspected in individuals. Imaging such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography aids in the diagnosis but it is not confirmatory to diagnose inverted Meckel’s diverticulum as a leading point. Resection of the intussusception segment is the definitive treatment. We present the case of a young man who presented in emergency with complaints of intestinal obstruction and ileo-ileal intussusception was the aetiology of for the same diagnosed on contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen. On exploration we discovered an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum to be the leading point for intussusception.

Abstract We report a rare case of adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of abdominal distention, intermittent abdominal pain and nausea that she experienced 3 months ago. Abdominal computed tomography scans demonstrated ileo-ileal intussusception that contained a tumor with fat density as the lead point. Laparoscopic-assisted partial resection of the small intestine was performed. The surgical specimen showed an elongated polypoid lesion invaginated into the intestinal tract indicating an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum. Pathological findings showed a true diverticulum that ran antimesentrically, with tall columnar epithelium, a mucous gland and an islet of Langerhans. The postoperative period was uneventful, and she was discharged on the ninth postoperative day.
