Abstrakt: Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital defect of the gastrointestinal tract. It is most often silent or asymptomatic. However, acute abdominal signs of obstruction, inflammation, hemorrhage and perforation are possible in other cases. Different foreign bodies can cause perforation of Meckel's diverticulum. We present an 18-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain within 48 previous hours. After evaluation, acute appendicitis was diagnosed and he underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. Meckel's diverticulum perforated by a fish bone was intraoperatively discovered. Incidental appendectomy and segmental resection of the ileum were performed.
