Abstract

Meckel‘s diverticulum is the most common congenital gastrointestinal anomaly and may result in a number of complications including bleeding, obstruction and inflammation. Axial torsion of Meckel’s diverticulum is very rare and has been reported only 8 times in children and 16 times in adults in the past 35 years. We report a case of axial torsion and gangrene of Meckel’s diverticulum in a 8 years old boy.

Özet

Meckel divertikülü en sık görülen konjenital gastrointestinal anomalisidir ve inflamasyon, tıkanma, kanama gibi çeşitli komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Meckel divertikülünün aksiyel torsiyonu oldukça nadirdir ve son 35 yılda çocuklarda sadece 8, yetişkinlerde de 16 vaka bildirilmiştir. Biz 8 yaşında erkek çocukta Meckel divertikülü torsiyonu ve gangreni olgusunu sunuyoruz.
