Meckels Diverticulum Causing Volvulus of Ileum
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common complications of Meckel’s diverticulum are Intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, adherence, intussusception, acute diverticulitis and rarely malignancy. Reported mechanism of intestinal obstruction in Meckel’s diverticulum include invagination, adherence and volvulus. Obstruction of ileum caused by volvulus of Meckel’s diverticulum is not a very frequent condition. Here we describe a case of intestinal obstruction caused by volvulus of ileum over non-inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum.

Volvulus is possible in any portion of the intestinal tract from the stomach to the sigmoid colon.
