Abstract

The invagination of Meckel's diverticulum is a very rare cause of abdominal pain in adolescents and adults. The classic clinical triad of the intussusception consisting abdominal pain, a palpable sausage-shaped mass, and bloody stools is seen infrequently. At the diagnosis, ultrasonography and computed tomography has a significant role with characteristic findings that include the “target” sign and sausage-shaped appearance. In this paper, we report a case of invagination of Meckel’s diverticulum which causes recurrent abdominal pain in a young adolescent. Key Words : Meckel’s Diverticulum; Intussusception; Ultrasonography; Computed Tomography.
