Persistent vitelline duct fibrotic band causing axially rotated gangrenous Meckel’s diverticulum with small bowel obstruction in an adult
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum may present as gastrointestinal bleeding, diverticulitis, and intestinal obstruction. Here we report an extremely rare case of axially rotated gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum with acute intestine obstruction due to persistent vitelline duct. Resection of gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum along with the involved ileum was done followed by anastomosis. Early diagnosis and timely surgery in such cases can prevent the morbidity and mortality.
