Intestinal obstruction from Meckel’s diverticulum in an adult; unsuspected but found- A case report

Abstract

Introduction: Most cases of Meckel’s Diverticulum (MD) are asymptomatic and when symptomatic, preoperative diagnosis of MD maybe  a dilemma. Intestinal obstruction is a major complication in the adult population.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 24-year-old female presenting with intestinal obstruction from Meckels Diverticulum.
Conclusion: MD is largely asymptomatic in adults, however may be present and should be included in our array of differential diagnoses.
