Résumé
We here report the case of a 4-year-old male child presenting with congenital umbilical bud that, recently, had begun to bleed. Physical examination showed pinkish umbilical bud with blood stains but without any fistula, measuring about 1,5 cm in diameter. Abdominal ultrasound was performed, which suggested urachal sinus. Surgery revealed umbilical bud communicating, in the abdominal portion, with hyperemic, inflammatory Meckel´s diverticulum placed 90 cm away from the ileocaecal angle in which many ascaris were detected. Anatomo-pathological examination of the surgical specimen showed diverticulitis. Thus, the diagnosis of Meckel´s diverticulitis by Ascaris was retained. Resection and anastomosis with bud excision were performed. The postoperative course was simple even after a 6-month follow-up period.
