Meckel's diverticulum is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct, found only in approximately 2% of the population. Although Meckel's diverticulum is often diagnosed in nonsymptomatic patients as incidental radiologic findings, complications of Meckel's diverticulum can also be seen on radiologic evaluation. We present a rare care of perforated Meckel's diverticulum in a geriatric patient demonstrated on contrast computed tomography. This was later confirmed during laparoscopic surgery with pathologic evaluation.
梅克尔憩室是卵黄管的残余物,仅在约2%的人群中发现。虽然梅克尔憩室常在无症状患者中作为偶然的影像学发现被诊断出来,但梅克尔憩室的并发症在影像学评估中也可见。我们展示了一例老年患者的梅克尔憩室穿孔罕见病例,在对比增强计算机断层扫描中得以显示。这一诊断后来在腹腔镜手术及病理评估中得到证实。
