Meckel Diverticulum Causing Intestinal Volvulus

الملخص EN

Intestinal volvulus is rare and responsible for upper bowel obstruction.

They occur more frequently in a patient with abdominal surgery history.

We report a case of small intestine volvulus on Meckel diverticulum, which occurred in a 21-year-old patient, with no history of laparotomy.

The diagnosis confirmation was intraoperative, and the management consisted in a segmental resection of the small intestine with immediate anastomosis.

The postoperative follow-up was good.

This case underlines the scarcity and the severity of this presentation which therefore requires appropriate care in order to improve the prognosis.
