[Complications of Meckel's diverticulum in Dakar (apropos of 2 cases)]

Meckel's diverticula is the most common lesion among the abnormalities resulting from the persistence of the vitelline canal and its vessels. Studying it is interesting, on the one hand, because of the difficulty of detecting it, and, on the other, because of the possibility of accidents dominated by intestinal occlusions and digestive haemorrhages. Two observations on complications in Meckel's diverticula discovered in young men in the casualty unit are covered, and literature on the rare pathology is reviewed.
