A RARE CASE OF INVAGINATION OF MECKEL'S DIVERTICULUM IN A CHILD

https://doi.org/10.17238/PmJ1609-1175.2018.1.95-96

Abstract

The observation of concomitant acute phlegmonous appendicitis and invagination of Meckel's diverticulum with an ectopic pancreas and a thin-intestinal invagination in a boy of 12 years is described. Authors suppose that this case shows the necessity of investigation of the ileum in appendectomy even in the presence of undoubted changes in the appendix.
