A Rare Presentation of Meckels Diverticulum: A Case Report

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present a rare presentation of Meckels diverticulum. A 25-year-old Saudi male was referred to our hospital with recurrent intestinal obstruction; computed tomography was done, which showed distended small bowel. Operative management was discussed with the patient and consent was taken for laparoscopy and laprotomy if indicted. Initially we started with laparoscopy but due to sever distention of bowls and adhesion, midline incision was done and multiple adhesions were released from ascending colon and distal small bowl until it was revealed that he had Meckels diverticulum with severe adhesion around.
