Meckel's diverticulum. An unusual case with ileal stricture [Case Report]
Traube M; Iswara K; Reddy RS
A 31 year-old man was seen with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Superior mesenteric angiography revealed a vascular blush. This corresponded to an area of narrowing seen on the small bowel series. A diagnosis of malignant neoplasm was made preoperatively. At laparatomy, however, a Meckel's diverticulum with ulceration and stricture formation extending into the ileum was found. The histology showed gastric mucosa with ulceration. This report depicts small bowel narrowing secondary to Meckel's diverticulum
