A mobile Meckel!

A technetium-99m pertechnetate Meckel scan is the standard diagnostic test to diagnose Meckel diverticulum. Although a negative scan does not exclude Meckel diverticulum, it should be kept in mind that the diagnosis can be missed on the basis of a single negative scan. Another important point is the typical position of this anatomical abnormality in the scan. We report a peculiar anatomical variation of Meckel diverticulum as seen in the technetium-99m pertechnetate scan. Recognizing this variant of Meckel diverticulum is important to avoid missing such a potentially life-threatening congenital anomaly.
