Özet
Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. It is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. Stone formation in Meckel's diverticulum is extremely rare and less than half of them are radio-opaque. Diagnosis may be confused with acute appendicitis and gallstones. In this case, we present a rare cause of acute abdomen with Meckel's diverticulum complication. Ischemic Meckel's Diverticulitis due to Meckel Enterolitis can be considered among the differential diagnoses, especially in young patients with peritonitis.
