Meckels diverticulum causing intestinal obstruction in the newborn
2018
: The causes of neonatal bowel obstruction are variable and dominated by malformations and the Meckel diverticulum must remain exceptional. We report a case of neonatal bowel obstruction in a six day old male neonate admitted on account of inability to pass stool, abdominal distension and bilious vomiting. The radiologic additional examinations are non-specific. Exploratory laparotomy found obstruction at the site of a Meckel's diverticulum.
