[Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum with intraabdominal hemorrhage and periappendicular inflammation].

2009 
: Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a rare and serious complication. The authors report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with acute abdominal pain and anaemia. Haemoperitoneum, perforated MD and peri-appendicular inflammation were found during laparotomy. The patient was treated with resection of a segment of ileum bearing the diverticulum and appendectomy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Pathological examination showed a perforated peptic ulcer with acute peritonitis and periappendicitis.
