A seven-month-old infant experienced severe rectal bleeding due to a Meckel's diverticulum. Surgical removal of the diverticulum successfully treated the life-threatening hemorrhage.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • It can cause significant gastrointestinal complications, including massive hemorrhage.

Observation:

  • A 7-month-old male infant presented with shock and massive fresh rectal bleeding.
  • Symptoms had a 3-hour history prior to emergency room presentation.

Findings:

  • Emergency laparotomy identified a Meckel's diverticulum as the source of bleeding.
  • A large vitello-intestinal artery associated with the diverticulum was the direct cause of the hemorrhage.

Implications:

  • Prompt surgical intervention, such as diverticulectomy, is crucial for managing life-threatening bleeding from Meckel's diverticulum in infants.
