“…A literature review revealed only 9 known cases (Table). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Patients with GI hemangioma present with melena and hematochezia, sometimes causing severe anemia, or with symptoms of obstruction. Patients may also exhibit abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, general weakness, and malaise.…”

“…13 Additionally, a study of Meckel diverticulum interestingly discovered a patient with a small bowel hemangioma of the jejunum who also had a positive Tc99 scan, suggesting a potential diagnostic role. 4 Treatment of GI hemangiomas includes addressing symptoms, observation, and follow-up. Iron supplements and transfusions of packed RBCs should be used in patients with anemia.…”

“…In our case, the rare entity is the observation of double Meckel's diverticulum and perforation in one of them. Although preoperative diagnosis may be compelling, and the most frequently used modalities are computerized tomography (CT), Technetium-99 m pertechnetate scintigraphy, and double-balloon enteroscopy, which is superior to the others [ 13 ], scintigraphy has the capability of observing ectopic gastric mucosa but may have false positive and negative results at high rates [ 10 ].…”

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we aimed to represent a case of intestinal perforation, caused by double Meckel's diverticulum, which is a very rare entity in surgical practice. The patient was a 20-year-old Caucasian man, admitted to hospital with complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomitting during the last 3 days. Physical examination indicated tenderness, rebound, and guarding in the right lower quadrant of abdomen. Abdominal X-ray revealed a few air-liquid levels in the left upper quadrant. In the operation, 2 Meckel's diverticula were observed, one at the antimesenteric side, at 70 cm distance to the ileocecal valve, approximately in 3 cm size, and the other between the mesenteric and antimesenteric sides, approximately in 5 cm size. The first one had been perforated at the tip and wrapped with omentum. A 30 cm ileal resection, including both diverticula with end-to-end anastomosis, was performed. The diagnosis of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is considerably hard, especially when it is complicated. Diverticulectomy or segmentary resections are therapeutic options. In patients with acute abdomen clinic, Meckel's diverticulum and its complications should be kept in mind, and the intestines should be observed for an extra diverticulum for caution although it is a very rare condition.

“…Las molestias se deben a hemorragia, inflamación (que origina un complejo sintomático que no suele distinguirse de la apendicitis), perforación (por lo general debida a una úlcera péptica originada por la secreción de ácido y pepsina por mucosa gástrica ectópica del fondo) (6) .…”

El divertículo de meckel es la anomalía congénita más común del tracto digestivo y se encuentra en el 2% de la población. En su evolución, aproximadamente el 4% de los pacientes desarrollan síntomas durante toda la vida debido a complicaciones como sangrado, obstrucción, diverticulitis o perforación. Palabras clave: divertículo de Meckel, divertículo perforado, complicaciones.
