Ibrahim Ilker Oz, Ismail Serifoglu, Bilal Toka, Oge Tascilar, Yucel Ustundag.




Abstract

The invagination of Meckel s diverticulum is a very rare cause of abdominal pain in adolescents and adults. The classic clinical triad of the
intussusception consisting abdominal pain, a palpable sausage-shaped mass, and bloody stools is seen infrequently. At the diagnosis,
ultrasonography and computed tomography has a significant role with characteristic findings that include the target sign and sausageshaped
appearance. In this paper, we report a case of invagination of Meckel s diverticulum which causes recurrent abdominal pain in a
young adolescent.

Key words: Meckel s Diverticulum; Intussusception; Ultrasonography; Computed Tomography.
