Abstract
Meckel's diverticulum occurs in approximately 2% of the general population and is usually asymptomatic. Four percent of cases will present as an acute abdomen caused by intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, and inflammation. A neonatal presentation of Meckel's diverticulum mimicking necrotizing enterocolitis is described.Entities:
