Abstract

The invagination of Meckel's diverticulum is a very rare cause of abdominal pain in adolescents and adults. The classic clinical triad of the intussusception consisting abdominal pain, a palpable sausage-shaped mass, and bloody stools is seen infrequently. At the diagnosis, ultrasonography and computed tomography has a significant role with characteristic findings that include the “target” sign and sausage-shaped appearance. In this paper, we report a case of invagination of Meckel’s diverticulum which causes recurrent abdominal pain in a young adolescent.

Key Words: Meckel’s Diverticulum; Intussusception; Ultrasonography; Computed Tomography.

Abstract

Meckel divertikülünün invajnasyonu, ergen ve erişkinlerde karın ağrısının çok nadir bir nedenidir. İntussepsiyonun klasik klinik bulguları olan karın ağrısı, ele gelen bir sosis şeklinde kitle ve kanlı dışkı seyrek görülür. Tanıda, ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografini önemli bir yere sahiptir ve hedef işareti ya da sosis görünümü ile karakteristik bulgular görülür. Bu yazıda, tekrarlayan karın ağrısına neden invajine Meckel divertikülü olgusu sunulmaktadır
