Abstract

Background: Meckel’s diverticulum is very difficult to diagnose. The aim of this study was to study the various presentations of Meckel’s diverticulum in TUTH in one year. Methods: Retrospective study of nine patients admitted from emergency in one year data was done. Result: In acute abdomen we have to think about Meckel’s diverticulum and its complications. The diagnosis of symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is difficult to make, especially in adults.
