Abstrakt:	Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Most cases are asymptomatic and when symptomatic, preoperative diagnosis of MD is poor. Intestinal obstruction, Malena or hematochezia, and inflammation are major symptoms. We report three cases of 18‐month, 2‐year, and 9‐year old male patients presenting with intestinal obstruction. Most of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) are asymptomatic but when clinical manifestations arise from complications like acute intestinal obstruction, MD must be included in the differential diagnosis. Early surgery is required to prevent strangulation or gangrene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
