Giant Meckel's diverticulitis: a rare condition complicating pregnancy

Yuen Shan Wong et al. Am J Surg. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

A 33-year-old pregnant woman presented with peritonitis at the right iliac fossa. Preoperative ultrasonography identified an 8-cm tubular structure at the tender point that was mistaken as appendicitis. Emergency operation finally confirmed a 12-cm giant Meckel's diverticulum with genuine inflammation and imminent perforation. The patient made an uneventful recovery after Meckel's diverticulectomy.
