    Background:

    • Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Understanding its embryology is crucial for recognizing its clinical implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the embryology and clinical implications of Meckel's diverticulum.
    • To discuss complications and clinical management from an obstetrician-gynecologist's perspective.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of embryological development of Meckel's diverticulum.
    • Discussion of clinical presentations and management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Meckel's diverticulum arises from incomplete regression of the omphalomesenteric duct.

  • Clinical manifestations vary, including bleeding, obstruction, and intussusception.
  • Management requires a multidisciplinary approach.

    • Conclusions:

    • Obstetrician-gynecologists should be aware of Meckel's diverticulum due to potential presentations during pregnancy.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for favorable outcomes.
