Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital defect of the small intestinal tract resulting from incomplete obliteration of the vitellointestinal duct. It presents with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, and inflammation. In rare instances, the presentation is with perforation similar to acute appendicitis with perforation. The symptoms, clinical exam, and radiological findings of our patient, a 38-year-old male, were consistent with perforated acute appendicitis; he was found to have a perforated Meckel's diverticulum intraoperatively.
梅克尔憩室（MD）是一种常见的小肠先天性缺陷，由卵黄管未完全闭塞引起。它表现为不明原因的胃肠道出血、肠梗阻和炎症。在罕见情况下，表现为类似于急性阑尾炎穿孔的穿孔。我们的患者是一名38岁男性，其症状、临床检查和影像学表现与穿孔性急性阑尾炎一致；术中发现他患有穿孔性梅克尔憩室。
