A CASE OF ADULT INTUSSUSCEPTION CAUSED BY INVAGINATED MECKEL'S DIVERTICULUM

Adult Intussusception Caused by an Inverted Meckel Diverticulum

Adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel diverticulum is rare. We report a 55-year-old Japanese man with intussusception. He was admitted to our hospital with vomiting and abdominal pain. The abdomen was hard with tenderness and muscle guarding. Computed tomography scanning demonstrated a typical inhomogeneous target-shaped mass in the right abdomen.

Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Invaginated Meckel's diverticulum: a rare cause of small intestine intussusception in adults.

Meckels diverticulum and intestinal ischaemia

We report an exceptional case of intestinal ischaemia requiring resection, secondary to torsion around a long Meckel's diverticulum. Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the small bowel. Meckel's diverticulum giving rise to intestinal ischaemia that requires resection is very rare but potentially fatal complication. A 62 year old woman presented as an emergency with su...
