ABSTRACT

La hernia de Littré se define como la presencia de un divertículo de Meckel en el interior de cualquier orificio herniario. Se reportan muy pocos casos en la literatura por lo infrecuente de la patología, con una incidencia de aproximadamente un 2 por ciento de la población general. Presentamos un paciente de 70 años de edad que acudió al servicio de urgencia por presentar una obstrucción intestinal debido a una hernia inguinoescrotal derecha incarcerada. Con este diagnóstico se intervino de forma urgente. Se abordó por vía preperitoneal inguinal derecha y se encontró en el interior del saco herniario un divertículo de Meckel gangrenado y perforado. Se realizó resección intestinal, cierre del cabo distal del íleon terminal cerca de la válvula, anastomosis íleocolon ascendente latero-lateral y reparación del defecto herniario con una malla de polipropileno. El paciente evoluciona bien y es dado de alta a los 7 días(AU)


Littré hernia is defined as the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum inside any hernial orifice. Very few cases are reported in literature because its rarity, with an incidence of approximately 2 percent of the general population. We report a 70-year-old man who came to the emergency department for filing an intestinal obstruction due to an incarcerated right inguinal scrotal hernia. He urgently underwent surgery because of this diagnosis. Surgery was addressed by right preperitoneal inguinal via. A gangrenous and perforated Meckel's diverticulum was found inside the hernia sac. Intestinal resection was performed. The distal end of the terminal ileum was closed near the valve, the íleocolon latero-side up anastomosis was performed and the hernia defect was repaired with a polypropylene mesh. The patient did well and was discharged 7 days later(AU)

ABSTRACT

Vitellointestinal {omphalo-mesenteric (OMD)} duct connects the developing mid-gut to the primitive yolk sac, provides nutrition to the embryo and remains patent and connected to the intestines until the fifth to ninth week of gestational period. Varied remnants of the vitellointestinal duct have been reported. The present case report describes a completely obliterated fibrous remnant of the duct. The remnant presented as a thick cord extending from the umbilicus towards the terminal part of ileum with a Meckel’s diverticulum. Herein, we report a case of 20 yr old male who presented with the features of small bowel obstruction due to completely obliterated fibrous remnant of the duct which is a rare entity. Although persistent omphalomesentric duct is an extremely infrequent cause of small bowel obstruction in adult patients, it should be taken into consideration in patients without any previous surgical history.

ABSTRACT

The ileal diverticulum (Meckel's diverticulum) is a congenital out pouching located in the distal ileum which occurs due to the failure of obliteration of the yolk stalk. The peak age in which this anomaly is mostly found is the pediatric age especially below the age of two. Hence it is noted as an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction and fatality in adult life. We present a case of a 26 year old man with abdominal pain and vomiting for 6 days associated fever for 3 days. Emergency laparotomy revealed ileal diverticulitis with small bowel obstruction. Ileal diverculectomy with ileal resection and ileoileal anastamosis was performed. However, the patient developed renal dysfunction leading to Multiorgan Dysfunction Syndrome and died on the fourth post operative day. This anatomic anomaly is rare in adult patients and is difficult to diagnose early due to its bizarre presentation resulting in high mortality in them. Hence we find this case of interest.


El divertículo de ileal o de Meckel es una evaginación congénita en el íleon distal, que se produce debido a la falta de obliteración del conducto vitelino. La edad en que esta anomalía frecuentemente se encuentra es la pediátrica, especialmente en menores de dos años. Por lo tanto, es una causa infrecuente de obstrucción intestinal y de escasa fatalidad en adultos. A continuación presentamos un caso de un hombre de 26 años, que presentaba un cuadro febril de 3 días y dolor abdominal y vómitos durante 6 días. Una laparotomía de emergencia reveló diverticulitis ileal, con obstrucción del intestino delgado. Fue realizada una diverculectomía ileal con resección ileal y anastomosis ileoileal. Sin embargo, el paciente desarrolló insuficiencia renal que condujo a una disfunción multiorgánica y síndrome de muerte al cuarto día postoperatorio. Esta anomalía anatómica es rara observarla en pacientes adultos y difícil de diagnosticar a tiempo, debido a su singular presentación y frecuentemente resulta en una alta mortalidad en estos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

This research was carried out to define the morphological features of Meckel's diverticulum [MD] in duck and to investigate whether the MD resides in a constant position along the intestinal tract. For this purpose, a total of 30 adult healthy ducks of both sexes, 50-52 weeks of age were used. After dissecting, some morphological factors such as: total intestine length as well as the lengths of the intestine from the gizzard to MD [GMD], from gizzard to cloaca [GC] and from MD to the caecal opening [MDC] were measured. The weight, thickness and length of MD were then recorded. By using t-test and analysing factors between two sexes we concluded that, the location of MD in total specimens was 91.52 +/- 8.09 cm far away from the gizzard. There was no significant difference between morphological factors of MD [eight, thickness and length] in both sexes [P > 0.05]. There was significant difference [P < 0.05] between GMD, GC in both sexes. In histological studies of MD, aggregated lymphatic follicles and thin muscularis mucosa were observed in tunica mucosa

ABSTRACT

Daughter diverticula arising from the body of Meckel's diverticulum are rare. We detected such an occurrence in a 35-year-old man at appendectomy. These are probably primary and not pulsion or traction diverticula, as they do not have a muscle wall.

ABSTRACT

Con los propósitos de describir la incidencia de divertpiculo de Meckel en necropsias de niños fallecidos por otras causas, las principales formas de presentación clínica de la afección y la correlación de las manifestaciones con la presencia de mucosa heterotópica en la anomalía, se revisaron todas las 3244 autopsias realizadas entre los años 1970 y 1995 en un hospital pediátrico de Santiago metropolitano y los registros clínicos de 66 pacientes a los cuales se les extirpó un divertículo de Meckel en el mismo período. Se encontró divertículo de Meckel en 45 niños (28 varones, proporción m: f= 1,6: 1) sometidos a necropsia (1,38 por ciento). En el mismo período se extirparon divertículos de Meckel sintomáticos a 66 pacientes (49 varones, proporción m: f= 2,8: 1) entre 14 días y 14 años de edad, 33 (50 por ciento) consultaron por hemorragia digestiva, 18 (27 por ciento) por obstrucción intestinal, 11 por síntomas que simulaban apendicitis aguda y 4 hernia inguinal. En todos los casos que sugerían apendicitis el divertículo mostraba signos de inflamación y en 10 estaba perforado. Sólo en uno de 23 casos de hallazgo en autopsia en que fue posible el examen microscópico se encontró mucosa ectópica (gástrica). En 45 de los 66 divertículos extirpados por dar síntomas clínicos se encontró mucosa gástrica y en 57 por ciento de ellos la afección se manifestó por hemorragia digestiva. En 4 pacientes se encontró mucosa pancreática y en una un mixoma. En 54 de 66 pacientes fue posible identificar mucosa gástrica o bandas dependientes del divertículo, por lo que la presencia de ambas constituye a nuestro juicio una indicación de extirpación en caso de hallazgo incidental durante cirugía abdominal

ABSTRACT

The authors review their experience with 23 children over one year of age who presented with intussusception. Idiopathic ileo-colic intussusception was the most frequent variety in children between 1-2 years of age [n=10], but in older children, there was a high incidence of ileo-ileal intussusception resulting from a pathological lead point. Intussusception was secondary to Henoch-Schonlein purpura in 5 patients, Meckel's diverticulum in 2 patients and cystic fibrosis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, duplication cyst and lymphoma in one patient each. Two patients developed post-operative intussusception after abdominal surgery. Ultrasound scan was the most helpful diagnostic investigation for initial screening. While hydrostatic reduction was generally successful in those with idiopathic ileocolic variety, a majority of children with intussusception secondary to a lead point required operative intervention and bowel resection. The likelihood of an underlying pathological lesion must always be considered in older children with intussusception. As the clinical presentation may be atypical, a high index of suspicion, prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to avoid the high mortality and morbidity associated with unrecognised bowel obstruction

ABSTRACT

Os autores apresentam dois casos de oclusao intestinal por fitobezoar de polpa de laranja em divertículo de Meckel gigante. O diagnóstico etiológico da oclusao foi intra-operatório, sendo que em um dos casos havia suspeita de fitobezoar de polpa de laranja, pela história clínica. Sugerem os autores ser o divertículo de Meckel um fator predisponente na formaçao do fitobezoar.
