Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticula are the most common congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Bleeding from Meckel's diverticulum accounts for 25% of its complications.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 12-year-old boy with a bleeding Meckel's diverticulum is presented.
  • The patient underwent successful laparoscopic treatment for the condition.

Findings:

  • Scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate is the primary diagnostic tool, confirming ectopic gastric mucosa.
  • Laparoscopic resection is a safe and effective treatment for bleeding Meckel's diverticulum.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in managing pediatric gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Accurate diagnosis via scintigraphy is crucial for appropriate surgical planning and management.
