Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the demographics and characteristics of children with Meckel's diverticulum (MD).Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed the medical records of all children who were treated for MD in the department of pediatric surgery of Tepecik Training and Research Hospital over a period of 10 years (19952004). Age, gender, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and histopathological reports were documented.Results: In total, 57 children were diagnosed with MD. Of these, 40 children were treated surgically. Furthermore, 26 had acute abdomen, 15 had intestinal obstruction, 10 had rectal bleeding, and 6 had some other diagnosis. The mean age of the boys (n=43) was 4.77±3.82 years, whereas that of the girls (n=14) was 3.85±3.67 years. Histopathological examination revealed ectopic mucosa in 9 patients, omphalomesenteric duct remnants in 4 patients, diverticulitis in 24 patients, and ulcerations in 14 patients.Conclusion: The prevalence of MD was 1.6%. Boys were approximately 3 times more commonly affected than girls. In most cases, the initial diagnosis was acute abdomen and the presenting symptoms on admission were intestinal obstruction and rectal bleeding

Özet

Amaç: Türk çocuklarında Meckel divertikülü (MD) vakalarının demografik ve karakteristik özelliklerini incelemek.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu geriye dönük araştırmada Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi çocuk cerrahisi kliniğinde 10 yılda tedavi edilen MD vakalarının tıbbi kayıtları analiz edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, klinik özellikler, tanı yaklaşımları ve opere edilen vakalarda histopatolojik rapor sonuçları incelendi.Bulgular: Toplam 57 çocukta MD saptandı ve bunlardan 40 vakaya operasyon uygulanmıştı. MD tespit edilen çocuklarda 26 vaka akut batın, 15 vaka intestinal obstrüksiyon, 10 vaka rektal kanama ve 6 vakada başka tanılar mevcuttu. Vakalardan erkek çocukların (n=43) yaş ortalaması 4,77±3,82 yıl ve kızların (n=14) yaş ortalaması 3,85±3,67 yıl olarak hesaplandı. Histopatolojik incelemelerde dokuz vakada ektopik mukoza, dört vakada omfalomezenterik kanal artığı, 24 vakada divertikülit ve 14 vakada ülserasyon saptanmıştı.Sonuç: Türk çocuklarında MD sıklığı %1,6 olarak tespit edildi. Erkekler kızlardan yaklaşık 3 kez fazla etkilenmişti. Çoğu vakada ön tanı akut batın iken hastaların kliniğe en sık başvuru sebebi intestinal obstrüksiyon ve rektal kanama olarak saptandı
