Acute abdomen in infant. Meckel's diverticulum and ileo-ileocolic intussusception.

摘要

A 6-month-old boy presented with indolent abdominal pain and loss of appetite for 2 days. He came to our emergency department with severe abdominal distention and cramping pain. He had no vomiting but did have flatus and bloody diarrhea (Figure 1). A sausage-like mass was noted in the left side of the abdomen. Abdominal pain progressed and auscultation revealed a metallic sound. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a soft tissue mass, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed solid lesion with target sign in the left side of the abdomen (Figure 2).
