    This study reports on 13 Meckel diverticula cases, with 11 symptomatic patients experiencing lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Enteroclysis proved effective for preoperative diagnosis of Meckel diverticulum.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Meckel diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
    • It can present with various symptoms, including gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on a series of surgically confirmed Meckel diverticula.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of enteroclysis for Meckel diverticulum.
    • To discuss diagnostic challenges and differential diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 13 patients with surgically confirmed Meckel diverticula over 30 months.
    • Preoperative diagnosis assessed using enteroclysis.

  • Analysis of enterographic findings, including mucosal triangular plateau and triradiate fold patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • 11 of 13 patients were symptomatic, primarily with lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • Two diverticula were incidental findings.
    • Enteroclysis successfully diagnosed Meckel diverticulum preoperatively in 11 cases.
    • Specific enterographic signs like the mucosal triangular plateau were key diagnostic indicators.

    Conclusions:

    • Enteroclysis is a dependable method for preoperative diagnosis of Meckel diverticulum.
    • Recognizing specific enterographic patterns aids in accurate diagnosis.
    • Awareness of potential interpretation pitfalls is important for differential diagnosis.
