Abstract

A case of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by hemorrhage was reported. Possible causes of intestinal bleeding were ruled out by laboratory examinations including whole hemogram, bone marrow examination, sigmoidoscopy, barium enema and upper G-I series. Consequently it was strongly suggested as Meckel’s diverticulum. Exploratory laparatomy was performed and the diverticulum was found. Wedge resection of the diverticulum was done with complete remission. Review of literature was also made briefly.
