Abstract
Meckel's Diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small bowel found in 2% of population . perforation of Meckel's diverticulum is rare complication occurring in less than 7% of patients complicated by meckel's diverticulum that can often mimic appendicitis's. Majority of the meckel's diverticulum remain silent and are diagnosed incidentally during investigations or procedures done for unrelated conditions , or until complications arise from the diverticulum. Hemorrhage, obstruction and inammation are the three main categories of complications resulting from Meckel's diverticulum. Spontaneously perforation of Meckel's diverticulum is very rare and mimics acute appendicitis. We report a case unusual case of Meckel's diverticulum
