| description | Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and represents a persistent remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct. The most common clinical presentation is intermittent and painless rectal bleeding, followed by intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction due to Meckel's enterolith is rarely reported in children. We report a patient who presented with ileus secondary to fecalith impaction of Meckel's diverticulum, causing intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis. |
