Although Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, its prevalence is approximately 2% in the general population. Most diverticula remain asymptomatic and can be diagnosed with obstruction, perforation, inflammation, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The treatment of complicated MD is surgery, but there is no clear treatment recommendation yet for incidentally detected cases. As in the case we present here, the development of perforation due to Giant Meckel's diverticulitis in an adult female patient is a very rare complication of a disease that can be diagnosed very rarely.
尽管梅克尔憩室（MD）是胃肠道最常见的先天性异常，但在普通人群中的患病率约为2%。大多数憩室无症状，可因梗阻、穿孔、炎症和胃肠道出血而被诊断。复杂型MD的治疗方法是手术，但对于偶然发现的病例，尚无明确的治疗建议。就我们这里呈现的病例而言，成年女性患者因巨大梅克尔憩室炎导致穿孔的情况是一种极为罕见疾病的极其罕见的并发症，这种疾病本身就很少能被诊断出来。
