Abstract

Meckel’s diverticulum can be symptomatic only when a complication develops. The most common complication is intestinal obstruction in adulthood. Strangulation of Meckel’s diverticulum in a hernia is a rare condition. Strangulation in a paracolic hernia is also seen infrequently. We report a case of a 80-year-old male patient with signs and symptoms of mechanical intestinal obstruction. Depending on clinical and radiologic data of the patient, emergency surgery was performed. In operation, we detected a Meckel’s diverticulum strangulated in paracolic hernia and necrosis of bowel wall adjacent to diverticulum. The necrotic bowel segment containing Meckel’s diverticulum was resected. Paracolic hernia was repaired. Patient died on the second postoperative day due to non-surgical problems.

Özet

Meckel divertikülü sadece komplikasyon geliştiğinde semptomatik hale gelir. Erişkin dönemdeki en sık komplikasyonu intestinal obstrüksiyondur. Obstrüksiyon nedeni olarak Meckel divertikülünün herni içinde boğulması çok nadir bir durumdur. İnternal herniler bu nadir durumun çok az bir bölümünü oluşturur. Acil servise mekanik barsak tıkanıklığı bulguları ile başvuran 80 yaşındaki erkek hastaya, klinik ve radyolojik verilere dayanılarak acil cerrahi uygulandı. Meckel divertikülünün ileokolik bölgedeki parakolik herni içinde boğulduğu ve komşu barsak ansının nekroze olduğu görüldü ve bu segment divertikülle birlikte rezeke edildi. Parakolik herni primer olarak kapatıldı. Ameliyat sonrası ikinci gün cerrahi olmayan nedenlerle kaybedildi.
