Abstract:

Meckel’s diverticulum is intestinal remnant of the vitello-intestinal duct. The clinical problems associated with a diverticulum are gastrointestinal hemorrhage, obstruction, acute abdominal pain and intussusception. It is commonly diagnosed in adults at the time of routine exploration during appendicectomy. We present a case of huge sized Meckel’s diverticulum which was presented in accident and emergency department of JPMC, Karachi as acute intestinal obstruction. .
