Neonatal Meckel's diverticulum: spectrum of presentation

Chandrasen K Sinha et al. Pediatr Emerg Care. 2009 May.

Abstract

Symptomatic neonatal Meckel's diverticulum is rare. We describe 2 interesting presentations of neonatal Meckel's diverticulum with review of the literature. Our first patient presented with massive bleeding per rectum in the first week of life, which is the only case reported so far. The second case presented with milk curd obstruction in the Meckel's diverticulum. We could find only one similar case in the literature.
