Abstract

Meckels diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of gastrointestinal tract, seen in 2% of population. It was first described by Guilhemus Fabricus Hildonus in 1598. Meckels diverticulum is an anomaly derived from incomplete obliteration of omphalo-mesenteric duct. It is rarely seen in adults, with prevalence of male to female of 2:1. Complications associated with Meckels diverticulum are hemorrhage, inflammation and intestinal obstruction. We present to you a case of 17 year old male with unusual mechanism of small bowel obstruction due to Meckels diverticulum.
