Abstract EN
Bowel obstruction and hemorrhage are two of the most common complications of Meckel's diverticulum.
Ten different forms of obstruction due to Meckel's diverticulum have been described in the literature.
This is a case report of an extremely rare presentation of intestinal obstruction due to a complicated Meckel's diverticulum in an adult in whom the cause of obstruction was a calcified appendix epiploica of the sigmoid colon creating a leading point of volvulus of the diverticulum.
