Rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum: loop formation of diverticulum

Meckel divertikülü otopsi serilerinde ve genel popülasonda %l-%3 sıklığında rastlanılan en yaygın gastrointestinal sistem anamolisidir. Divertiküllü hastalarda yaşam boyunca komplikasyon görülme oranı %4'tür. En sık görülen komplikasyonu erişkinde barsak tıkanıklığıdır. Biz tanı ve tedavisi Meckel divertikülünün halka oluşumuna bağlı intestinal tıkanıklık olan hastayı sunmayı uygun gördük.

Meckel divertikülünün nadir bir komplikasyonu: divertikülün halka formasyonu

Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, and is reported to occur in l%-3% of the general population and autopsy series. The total lifetime rate of complications is widely accepted at 4%. Intestinal obstruction is the most common complication in adult patients. We present the diagnosis and management of our patient with intestinal obstruction due to loop formations of a Meckel's diverticulum.
