Littre’s umbilical hernia (UH) is a rare disease, the third most common Littre hernia. Most case reports interest adult patients. We reported the case of a four-year-old girl with anemia and symptomatic UH, with an incidentally diagnosed Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) containing pancreatic ectopic tissue. We reviewed case reports on Littre’s umbilical hernia without a date or language restriction. Including our patient, 21 cases were reviewed, of whom 15 (71.4%) were adults and 13 (61.9%) were males. Complicated umbilical hernia occurred in 13 patients (61.9%) and symptomatic MD in two children (9.5%). Investigations preoperatively diagnosed two patients (9.5%). Eighteen patients (85.7%) underwent open surgery, Meckel’s diverticulum removal was performed in 18 patients (85.7%), and primary umbilical hernia repair was performed in 16 (76.2%). Ectopic tissue was present in four patients (19.1%), and long-term outcomes were excellent in all patients.

“…The standard treatment for symptomatic MD involves wedge diverticulectomy and division of diverticulomesenteric fibrous bands, which are frequently seen associated with the abdominal wall or the intestinal mesentery. However, a segmental ileal resection followed by primary anastomosis should be carried out in difficult umbilical hernias where there is edema, inflammation, ectopic tissue at the diverticular-intestinal connection, ischemia or perforation of the colon, or malignancy [ 7 ]. During the operation of the case, an unexpectedly found perforated Meckel diverticula, wedge resection, and anastomosis were performed by a pediatric surgeon.…”
