Abstract

Meckel’s diverticulum is generally asymptomatic, but it may become symptomatic due to various reasons and maybe the etiology of the acute abdominal syndrome. Bezoars are formed by the combination of non-digestible substances in the gastrointestinal tract, and which are among the rare causes of intestinal obstruction. The formation of bezoars in Meckel’s diverticulum and subsequent intestinal obstruction is a rare condition. In this article, two cases with intestinal obstruction due to bezoar in Meckel’s diverticulum and their surgical treatment had presented.
