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 inammation 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
