Dr Shivraj Meena, Dr Rajesh Roat

Abstract :

 Meckel’s diverticula are most common congenital anomalies. Sometime it may be present as a clinically significant lesion.  It is a diagnostic challenge however in this era modern diagnostic modalities available. We report a case of intestinal obstruction due to large ileal diverticula in 65 year lady. Intra operatively we found large ileal diverticula in left iliac fossa which was 25 cm proximal to ileocaecal junction causing obstruction due to hampering small bowel peristalsis or due to diverticulitis. Our case highlights uncommon mechanism of small bowel obstruction, although it’s a rare. The Diagnosis, complication and management should be part of every surgeon when considering abdominal pathology.
