Abstract
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is an uncommon cause of obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in adults, and its preoperative diagnosis is not the rule, the current radionuclide and radiologic diagnostic modalities being rather inaccurate. The advent of capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy now allows for early detection of bleeding MD, provided they are performed in the setting of ongoing bleeding. This report presents a short capsule endoscopy video involving an young man with obscure-overt GI bleeding and typical appearance of MD, confirmed at surgery afterwards. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
