Meckel's diverticulum is understood to be the commonest congenital malformation within the gastrointestinal tract with a prevalence of 2%, as found on autopsy studies. Although many cases are asymptomatic, complications can occur including haemorrhage, diverticulitis, chronic ulceration and intestinal obstruction. Intussusception is also a complication, but extremely rare. We present a rare case of Meckel's diverticulum causing intussusception, which was surgically resolved, in a 5-year-old girl. Our aim through this case report is to generate greater awareness of this complication and to provide some potential guidance towards its treatment.
梅克尔憩室被认为是胃肠道最常见的先天性畸形，尸检研究发现其患病率为2%。尽管许多病例无症状，但可能会出现并发症，包括出血、憩室炎、慢性溃疡和肠梗阻。肠套叠也是一种并发症，但极为罕见。我们报告一例5岁女孩因梅克尔憩室导致肠套叠的罕见病例，该病例通过手术得到解决。我们通过本病例报告旨在提高对这种并发症的认识，并为其治疗提供一些潜在的指导。
