Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum can lead to serious complications. This case report details a rare instance of a subphrenic abscess developing after Meckel's diverticulum perforation in an infant.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • It is a common cause of gastrointestinal complications in children.

Observation:

  • A rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum perforation was observed.
  • This involved the development of a subphrenic abscess.

Findings:

  • The study reports the first documented case of Meckel's diverticulum perforation leading to a subphrenic abscess.
  • This complication occurred in an eleven-month-old child.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for unusual presentations of Meckel's diverticulum complications.
