Emergent arteriography effectively diagnosed Meckel

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
Bleeding is a common complication, necessitating accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

A case presented with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
Emergent arteriography was performed for diagnosis.

Findings:

Arteriography identified contrast extravasation into the distal ileum.
An abnormal ileal artery coursing to the antimesenteric border was noted.
A double contrast study confirmed the Meckel's diverticulum.

Implications:

Highlights the diagnostic utility of emergent arteriography for Meckel's diverticulum.

Emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging in managing gastrointestinal bleeding.
