Abstract

 

Intussusceptions due to an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum are considered as a rare condition. We present a case of 83 year-old male with intestinal obstruction due to an inverted Meckel’s divertuculum at the base of ileoileal intussusceptions. Ileal strangulation may occur due to intussusception of a Meckel’s diverticulum. Hence the clinician should be aware of this possibility and diagnose more quickly to avoid unnecessary bowel resection.
