Résumé
Meckel's Diverticulum is a sac-like protrusion of the intestinal wall. It is located at 40-60 cm from the caecum. In the majority of cases, Meckel's Diverticulum is clinically silent, while complications are found in 4% of the population. Complicated diverticulitis is associated with the formation of abscess, fistula, bowel obstruction or frank perforation. We present a case of a 63-year-old woman with a distended abdomen, pain in the lower right abdominal quadrant, fever 37°C and where emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed that obstruction was caused by a bowel loop trapped by a mesenterium-diverticular band.
