Abstract

ABSTRACT A 27-year-old female presented with right lower abdominal pain was associated with nausea and vomiting for a 12-h duration. The examination revealed a tender abdomen and localized guarding in the right iliac fossa, and this semblance often results in diagnostic inaccuracy. In an erect abdomen X-ray air under the diaphragm was noted. The patient was taken up for surgery with a working diagnosis of intestinal perforation. After surgical exploration, the final diagnosis was a perforated Meckel’s diverticulum.
