Abstract

A 14-month-old child presented with recurrent episodes of melaena, upper thoracic hemivertebrae, and tetralogy of Fallot. The presence of the upper thoracic hemivertebrae led to the suspicion of intestinal duplication. However, technetium (Tc99m) scintigraphy revealed a Meckel's diverticulum. Following laparotomy and excision of the diverticulum, the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
