| Popis: | A preoperative diagnosis of complicated Meckel diverticulum can be difficult to establish and is not often considered in the adult patient [1 ]. The clinical manifestations are frequently nonspecific and can mimic other pathologic conditions, such as appendicitis, Crohn disease, and peptic ulcer [1 -3]. Various imaging techniques have been used to diagnose Meckel diverticulum, but few cases evaluated by CT have been described [2]. We report an unusual case of an infarcted, twisted Meckel diverticulum that was detected preoperatively by CT. |
