Abstract

The aim of this study was to contribute to the study of Meckel's diverticula in the visceral surgery department of the national hospital of donka, Rare pathology and the diagnosis is difficult to make clinically. Observation: We report here a case of Meckel's diverticulum discovered in a 22-year-old girl who consulted for an occlusive syndrome; Meckel's diverticulum was incidentally discovered intraoperatively. We proceeded to the resection of the diverticulum followed by the ileo-ileal anastomosis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of DM is rarely evoked clinically because of the diversity of its clinical manifestations and is often of surgical discovery. It should be mentioned in any abdominal emergency.
