Meckel’s diverticulum: Case series

Abstract

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract, and it represents a persistent remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct. Although it mostly remains silent, its infrequent occurrence is mirrored by the paucity of large series of data on it in the literature. We present series of 3 cases who presented at our hospital. Conclusion: Knowledge of Meckel’s diverticulum is important for surgeons to avoid complications during various abdominal surgeries. It is also important for radiologists while doing ultrasound examination and evaluating radiographs.
