Purpose or Case Report: Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the GI tract, with an occurrence rate of 2% in the general population. It is a true diverticulum caused from the persistence of the omphalomesenteric duct after the 6-8th week of gestation.

Although it is usually asymptomatic, there is a lifetime 4% risk for complications in patients up to the age of 20, with complication rates being higher in males than females. Among the possible complications are hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis, perforation, and neoplasia. Knowledge of the radiological/clinical manifestation of a patient with Meckel’s diverticulum and its complications is of great importance for the radiologist as it can mimic other pathologies making its diagnosis a challenging one.

The purpose of this educational poster is to review and illustrate some of the imaging/clinical manifestations of some of the complications of Meckel’s diverticulum based on our experience at our hospital.
