Invagination intestinale sur diverticule de Meckel chez l’adulte: à propos d’un cas

摘要

Meckel′s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly affecting the gastrointestinal tract resulting from failure of involution of the omphalomesenteric duct. This anomaly is most often asymptomatic and may be revealed by a complication, such as intussusception. This study reports the diagnostic pathway and the management of an 18-year-old female patient admitted to the Emergency Department with ileoileal invagination due to Meckel′s diverticulum complicated by occlusion. This study is interesting because it provides an overview of this rare disease whose diagnosis, based on abdominal scanner, must be made early in order to prevent small bowel perforation or necrosis. Bowel resection without desinvagination is the gold standard treatment.Copyright: Abdelali Guellil et al.
