Abstract:
Meckel's diverticulum most often remains asymptomatic and is diagnosed only fortuitously or when complications arise. We report a case of intestinal volvulus on Meckel's diverticulum in a 19-year-old patient. The surgical procedure was an ileal resection with anastomosis. The postoperative follow-up was simple.
