Abstract:
Meckel's Diverticulum is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. However, its presentation as a complicated Giant Meckel's Diverticulum in an adult is rare. We present a case of a perforated Giant Meckel's mimicking ischemia of the right colon. This case report highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for this rare diagnosis.
