Obstructive acute abdomen due to Meckel’s diverticulum in adult: Case report.
Authors
Abstract
Meckel's diverticulum is anatomically considered as a true diverticulum, with its embryological origins arising from a persistent omphalomesenteric duct. In adults, the disease is usually asymptomatic, often being accidentally diagnosed during imaging tests or surgery to treat other diseases, or due to further complications.
