| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum affects 1 - 3 % of general population and is known as the most common anomaly of gastrointestinal tract. However, its estimated lifetime complication rate is approximately 4 %. Intestinal obstruction is most common complication of Meckel's diverticulum in adult population. Case presentation: In the present study, we reported a 42-year-old female patient with a gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum in a strangulated umbilical hernia sac treated by dissection of diverticulomesenteric bands and diverticulectomy. In 36 months follow-up, there was neither any complication nor recurrence of hernia. Conclusion: This case represents a gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum in a strangulated umbilical hernia sac diagnosed in case of emergency. Although it is a very rare phenomenon, we should be vigilant for this entity especially in case of emergency. © 2010 Sengul et al. | en_US |
