摘要
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital abnormality of the digestive tract. Although it is silent, it can rarely come up as a complicated case including but not limited to obstruction, inflammation, and neoplasm. Perforation as a consequence of MD is extremely infrequent and mostly related to foreign objects. We report a case of a 24-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated foreign body perforation from a protrusion outside the small bowel. The patient underwent laparoscopy and a fish bone perforating MD was found which was removed.
