Meckel divertikülünün oldukça nadir bir komplikasyonu: Littre fıtığı

Meckel divertikülü toplumun %2-3' ünde görülen gastrointestinal sistemin en sık doğumsal anomalisidir. Omfalomezenterik kanalın yanlış kapanması ve absorpsiyon kusuruna bağlı olarak gelişir. En sık komplikasyonları ince barsak tıkanıklığı, kanama ve divertikülittir. Meckel divertikülü ayrıca Littre fıtığı şeklinde karşımıza çıkabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda kliniğimize sol inguinal bölgede redükte edilemeyen kitle ile başvuran ve inkarsere kasık fıtığı düsünülerek opere edilen nadir bir Meckel divertikülü komplikasyonu olan Littre fıtığını sunuyoruz.©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi.
