    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Radiology

    Background:

    • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
    • Meckel's stones are rare complications, often asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose preoperatively.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of Meckel's stones.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of barium studies in identifying Meckel's stones.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study detailing a patient with Meckel's stones.
    • Diagnostic imaging using a barium study of the small bowel.

    Main Results:

    • Meckel's stones were successfully visualized using a barium study.
    • The case underscores the potential for barium studies in diagnosing this rare condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Preoperative diagnosis of Meckel's stones is infrequent but achievable.
    • Increased awareness of Meckel's stones can lead to more frequent diagnoses.
