A rare cause for intestinal obstruction
Meckel′s diverticulum is one of the many causes for small bowel obstruction. The myriad mechanisms include intussusception, volvulus or internal hernia around a persistent band, adhesions, diverticulitis, inclusion in a hernia, etc. In fact, obstruction is the second most common complication of Meck...

| description | Meckel′s diverticulum is one of the many causes for small bowel obstruction. The myriad mechanisms include intussusception, volvulus or internal hernia around a persistent band, adhesions, diverticulitis, inclusion in a hernia, etc. In fact, obstruction is the second most common complication of Meckel′s diverticulitis. However, small intestinal obstruction due to Meckel′s knotting around a bowel loop is a rare occurrence which mandates early diagnosis and intervention to preempt resultant morbidity and mortality. Here, we present one such case along with a review of the literature. |
