Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • Giant Meckel's diverticula are exceptionally uncommon and can present with complications.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old girl presented with symptoms of incomplete intestinal obstruction.
  • Imaging and clinical evaluation revealed a giant Meckel's diverticulum as the cause.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection of the affected ileum segment containing the giant diverticulum was performed.
  • An end-to-end anastomosis was successfully achieved following resection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by giant Meckel's diverticula.
  • Management involves surgical intervention, with discussion on classification and treatment strategies for this rare condition.
