In this article we report the case of a 26-year-old boy suffering from perforation of Meckel's diverticulum (MD), a rare complication of the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract (1). This congenital condition can remain asymptomatic for a long time and sometimes it can get complicated with diverticulitis, formation of enteroliths, neoplasms and rarely perforation as in this case. A preoperative radiological assessment is of fundamental importance for a correct diagnostic and therapeutic management of the patient. In this article we show the typical tomographic imaging features of this infrequent complication, in order to help radiologists in detecting it.

Littre Hernia

Littré’s hernia is caused by the protrusion of Meckel’s diverticulum through an orifice in the abdominal wall. Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract that is generally asymptomatic and only manifests in a specific way when complications exist. An unusual complication of Meckel’s diverticulum is known as Littre’s hernia. It comprises less than 1% of all Meckel’s diverticulum. Usual sites of Littre hernia are right inguinal (50% of cases), umbilical hernia (20%), and femoral hernia (20%). We present a case of Littré’s hernia where we found a strangulated Meckel’s diverticulum in an inguinal hernia sac.

Meckel's Diverticulum

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. Small bowel obstruction due to mesodiverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication. Herein, we report the diagnosis and management of a small bowel obstruction occurring due to mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum.

Abstract Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and affects 1% - 4% of the general population. Most patients are asymptomatic throughout their lives, but it is estimated that 4% - 6% will have some symptoms, which usually occur due to abdominal complications. This study aimed to report a rare case of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by intestinal intussusception.

Littre Hernia

A Meckel’s diverticulum is a remnant of the vitelline duct, which leads to the formation of a true diverticulum containing all layers of the small intestine. The diverticulum can contain ectopic gastric, duodenal or pancreatic tissue and is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract with estimates of prevalence ranging from 0.3% to 3%. The condition is usually clinically silent. In children the most common complication is gastrointestinal bleeding caused by ulceration due to the acid secretion by ectopic gastric mucosa.

Bleeding Per Rectum

Meckel’s Diverticulum (MD) is a frequent congenital anomaly of small bowel often difficult to diagnose. It is usually asymptomatic and can present as bleeding, obstruction and inflammation. We report a case of MD in a 3 year old male child, diagnosed by 99mTc pertechnetate scan and confirmed on laparotomy. Excised specimen revealed a large MD with multiple ileal ulcers, as a source of massive bleeding per rectum. The clinical features and need for early diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small bowel. The majority of cases are asymptomatic; however, life-threatening complications can also take place. We present a case of a 37-year-old male who was admitted with symptoms of acute, severe abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa. The patient was operated on with the preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis but the operative findings were consistent with torted Meckel’s diverticulum due to presence of mesodiverticular band and he was treated successfully with surgical resection.
