Abstract | Meckel's diverticulum MD is the most common congenital deformity of the gastrointestinal tract. It has a very low reported incidence. We reported a 9-year-old child complaining of symptoms of small bowel obstruction. He had no medical or surgical history. There is no signs of peritonitis and appendicitis. Simple abdominal X-ray diagnosed the obstruction, during surgery we found an MD located 30 cm from the ileocecal valve, fibrous band may be as complication for MD to the anterior abdominal wall at the umbilicus, the small intestines were wrapped around the band, causing the obstruction. The MD and the band were excised with end-to-end anastomosis. We diagnosed our case during surgery. Early surgery is important to preserve bowel from gangrene or necrosis. The patient's well-being improved, and he was discharged from the hospital in good condition. |
