The most common intestinal anomaly is the persistent of Meckel's diverticulum, a vestigial structure arising from the terminal ileum. It is present in about 2 per cent of the population and is usually said to be more frequently found in males than in females. This is because more males than females suffer from Meckel's diverticulum disease. The sex bias disappears when the diverticulum is repor...

anatomic variant found in 2% of the population. It is a remnant of the vitelline duct, which is usually located on the antimesenteric border of the ileum, within about 60 cm of the terminal ileum. As a congenital variant, Meckel’s diverticula are often found in children and less commonly present in the adult population. The anatomic variant was initially identified by Fabricus Hildanus in 1598;...

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is about 20% in men aged 40 or above. Other than benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral diverticulum or calculus is not uncommon for LUTS in men. Surgical treatment is often recommended for urethral diverticulum or calculus, but treatment for an impacted urethral calculus complicated by a stone-containing diverticulum is c...

INTRODUCTION Bladder diverticulum is a result of bladder mucosa and submucosa herniation through the muscularis propria of bladder wall. Bladder diverticula are mostly seen in the elderly men in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old man presented with complaints of vague epigastric discomfort, dyspepsia, and mild lower urinary tract symptoms. An ...

INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of urethral diverticulum can be challenging given the vague or absent presenting symptoms. In addition, vaginal cancer can present with elusive symptoms--some parallel to urethral diverticula. A case of a bleeding ulcerated mass anticipated to be a vaginal cancer was instead identified as a benign urethral diverticulum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ...

Intussusception is well-recognised in young children; however this condition is very rare in newborns [1]. Neonatal intussusception is usually caused by several conditions including Meckel’s diverticulum, intestinal polyps and intestinal duplication [1]. Meckel’s diverticulum can present at any age group; however rarely, a symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum may present in neonates [2]. We report...

A 57-year-old woman presented with dysphagia and postprandial epigastric fullness for about two years. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a esophageal diverticulum at the lower portion of the esophagus, and barium swallow esophagography showed a focal outpouching space (measured about 5cm in size) at the distal third of the esophagus near the esophagogastric junction (●" Fig.1). The patien...

tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of meckel's diverticulum. interpretation of meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. the activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. we present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. tc-...
