Inverted Meckel's diverticulum in an adult patient diagnosed via capsule endoscopy.

María Antonia Payeras Capó1, David Ambrona Zafra2, Carmen Garrido Durán1.   

Abstract

Meckel's diverticulum is present in 2% of the general population and its inverted presentation is rare. The most frequent complications are gastrointestinal hemorrhage, obstruction, intussusception and perforation. In general, these complications occur in the first two decades of life, and mostly before the fourth decade. We present a case of inverted MD that started as a digestive hemorrhage of obscure origin in a 77-year-old man who was diagnosed by endoscopic capsule.
