Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause serious complications such as intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, or inflammation with/without perforation, which can present with non-spe-cific symptoms and signs. We report on the case of a 2.5-year-old boy admitted to our emergency department in poor condition, with compatible signs of decompensated hypovolemic shock. This case finally resulted in intestinal volvulus and internal hernia, a very rare combination of two complications of MD, as determined in the operating room.
梅克尔憩室(MD)是最常见的胃肠道先天性畸形,可能导致严重并发症,如肠梗阻、胃肠道出血或伴有/不伴有穿孔的炎症,这些并发症可能表现出非特异性的症状和体征。我们报告了一例 2.5 岁男孩的病例,他因病情不佳而被收入我院急诊室,有失代偿性低血容量性休克的表现。在手术室中确定,该病例最终导致肠扭转和内疝,这是 MD 的两种并发症非常罕见的组合。
