ABSTRACT

Meckel diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Any hernia containing the Meckel diverticulum is termed as Littre hernia. Hemorrhage, as one of the complications of the diverticulum, can express itself with anemia. The treatment of the Meckel diverticulum is still controversial. In this report, in the treatment of the diverticulum, a segmenter ileum resection and end to end ileum anastomosis has been performed where the Meckel diverticulum had been thought as the cause of the anemia.
