Abstract
A symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum (MD) may manifest as an intestinal obstruction secondary to a volvulus. We describe a case of a meconium-impacted MD associated with inflammatory adhesions to adjacent viscera that presented as an intestinal obstruction in a 4-h-old infant secondary to an ileal volvulus with resultant infarction of the diverticulum and ileal segment.Entities:
