Inverted Meckel's Diverticulum Simulating Pedunculated Polyp as a Lead Point for Ileoileal Intussusception in a Child
نویسنده
چکیده
Most of the intussusceptions in infants are idiopathic in nature. The incidence of intussusception decreases as the age advances. On the contrary, the frequency of lead point (secondary cause) increases with age. Meckel’s diverticulum is the commonest anomaly of small bowel. There is 5% incidence of complications in patients having Meckel’s diverticulum. Inverted Meckel’s diverticulum, as a lead point for intussusception, is a rare entity and commonly reported in adults. Pediatric cases are scarcely reported in literature [1-4].

Adult intussusception due to Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. However, the surgeon should still be suspicious of this condition since the non specific symptoms and the rarity of it make a preoperative diagnosis uncertain. Considering the secondary nature of adult intussusception and the necessity of early surgical intervention to avoid morbidity and mortalit...
