Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) that does not have any risk of lymph node or distant metastases. Here, we report a case of EGC resembling a diverticulum. Diverticular formation makes it difficult for endoscopists to determine the depth of invasion and to subsequently perform ESD. Because the false diverticulum does not have a muscula...

Abstract Background Oesophageal epiphrenic diverticulum’s are rare; reported in less than 0.5 per cent of the population. They noted however 1–3 patients complaining dysphagia. almost always associated with a motility disorder oesophagus. Surgery is generally only solution to help symptoms dysphagia and reflux. Methods This video highlights case moderate sized diverticulum causing significant T...

  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 gastrointest...

with diffuse abdominal pain, melena, and iron-deficiency anemia. Gastroscopy and colonoscopywere unremarkable.Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) (PillCam SB2; Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel) was then carried out. The video sequence showed the capsule passing through a narrow orifice of the distal ileum into a cavity containing multiple enteroliths swirling in a greenish fluid with debris (●" Figs...

OBJECTIVE To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of juxta-ampullary duodenal diverticulum (JAD) in our hospital. METHODS Of 5000 consecutive endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) performed in our department, 225 patients were diagnosed with JAD and treated. All patients were classified based on the location of Ampullae of Vater in relation to the duodenal diverticulum. Of th...

INTRODUCTION Meckel's diverticulum affects 1 - 3% of general population and is known as the most common anomaly of gastrointestinal tract. However, its estimated lifetime complication rate is approximately 4%. Intestinal obstruction is most common complication of Meckel's diverticulum in adult population. CASE PRESENTATION In the present study, we reported a 42-year-old female patient with a ...

Surgical treatment of the complications associated with Meckel’s diverticulum is widely accepted, but surgical management of an asymptomatic diverticulum found incidentally during laparotomy for other reasons is controversial. Appendectomy is the most common reason for laparotomy in many pediatric surgery clinics. The most common causes of an intestinal obstruction in the early period after app...

Meckel's diverticulum was first described by Fabricius Hildanus in 1598. The name derives from the German anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel who described the embryological and pathological features in 1809 [1]. Although it generally remains silent but life threatening complications may arise making it an important structure for having a detailed knowledge of its anatomical and pathophysiologica...

Meckel's diverticulum is the most significant diverticulum occurring in the jejunum or ileum. It is a remnant of an omphalomesenteric or vitelline duct which normally obliterates at about the seventh week of foetal life (Oppenheimer, 1962). For reasons unknown, a remnant of the duct may persist, more or less completely, as a tube or cord arising usually from the ileum 25-90 cm from the ileocaec...

INTRODUCTION Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastro intestinal tract, present in about 2% of population. CASE OUTLINE The article presents the case of a 44-year-old otherwise healthy man with anemia, who was diagnosed lower gastrointestinal bleeding. An abdominal CT scan revealed a clearly demarcated solid tumor in hypogastric region, measuring 65 x 45 mm. A...
