Abstract
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is a true congenital diverticulum as it consists of all three layers of the bowel wall [1]. Partial or complete developmental failure to close and absorb the omphalomesenteric duct results in a variety of congenital anomalies, MD with or without omphalo-mesenteric band being the most common [2]. It is often asymptomatic, however, ~ 2-4% of patients may be symptomatic. Symptomatic MD is often descried by rule of 2s, that may clinically vary [3]. Children most commonly present with gastrointestinal bleeding, while adults present with features of small bowel obstruction and diverticulitis.
