ABSTRACT

Introducción: el divertículo de Meckel es la anomalía congénita más frecuente del tracto gastrointestinal. Puede presentarse con hemorragia, obstrucción intestinal o diverticulitis, complicaciones que disminuyen con la edad, por lo que en el adulto el diagnóstico suele ser incidental. El tratamiento de las complicaciones es quirúrgico, mediante diverticulectomía o resección segmentaria del intestino delgado, dependiendo de sus características morfológicas. Objetivo: analizar nuestra experiencia en el manejo del divertículo de Meckel complicado en un período de 15 años. Diseño: estudio descriptivo, observacional, transversal, retrospectivo. Material y métodos: se revisaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes operados por divertículo de Meckel complicado en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital San Roque durante el periodo 2007-2022. Se registraron datos demográficos, presentación clínica, diagnóstico preoperatorio, tratamiento quirúrgico, complicaciones postoperatorias y hallazgos histopatológicos. Resultados: se incluyeron 25 pacientes, 21 (84%) hombres, 3 menores de 18 años. La presentación clínica fue un síndrome de fosa iliaca derecha en el 80% de los casos, obstrucción intestinal en el 16% y hemorragia en el 4%. En solo 2 casos se realizó el diagnóstico preoperatorio, confirmado mediante tomografía computada. Se realizó diverticulectomía en el 68% de los pacientes y resección segmentaria el 32%. El abordaje fue laparotómico en el 64%, principalmente en el periodo inicial y laparoscópico en el 36%. Hubo una complicación IIIb de Clavien-Dindo en un paciente pediátrico tratado con drenaje percutáneo. En un solo paciente (4%), que se presentó con hemorragia digestiva masiva, se encontró epitelio de tipo gástrico y páncreas ectópico en el divertículo. Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia el divertículo de Meckel complicado se presentó predominantemente en hombres. La complicación más frecuente en el adulto fue la diverticulitis. El diagnóstico preoperatorio fue infrecuente y realizado por tomografía computada. La diverticulectomía es suficiente en la mayoría de los casos. Actualmente, la laparoscopia es una herramienta segura, rentable y eficiente que permite el diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos de esta entidad. (AU)


Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. It can present with bleeding, intesti-nal obstruction or diverticulitis, complications that decrease with age, so in adults the diagnosis is usually incidental. Treatment of complications is surgical, through diverticulectomy or segmental resection of the small intestine, depending on its morphological characteristics. Objective: to analyze our experience in the management of complicated Meckel's diverticulum over a period of 15 years. Design: descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study. Materials and methods: the medical records of patients operated on for complicated Meckel's diverticulum in the General Surgery Service of the San Roque Hospital during the period 2007-2022 were reviewed. Demo-graphic data, clinical presentation, preoperative diagnosis, surgical treatment, postoperative complications, and histopathological findings were recorded. Results: twenty-five patients were included, 21 (84%) men, 3 under 18 years of age. The clinical presentation was a right iliac fossa syndrome in 80% of cases, intestinal obstruction in 16% and hemorrhage in 4%. In only 2 cases was the preoperative diagnosis made, confirmed by computed tomography. Diverticulectomy was performed in 68% of patients and segmental resection in 32%. The approach was by laparotomy in 64%, mainly in the initial period, and by laparoscopy in 36%. There was a Clavien-Dindo IIIb complication in a pediatric patient treated with percutaneous drain-age. In only one patient (4%), who presented with massive gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric-type epithelium and ectopic pancreas were found in the diverticulum. Conclusions: In our experience, complicated Meckel's diverticulum occurred predominantly in men. The most frequent complication in adults was diverticulitis. Preoperative diagnosis was infrequent and was made by computed tomography. Diverticulectomy is sufficient in most cases. Currently, laparoscopy is a safe, profitable and efficient tool that allows for the timely diagnosis and treatment of this entity. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El divertículo de Meckel es una malformación congénita que suele presentarse como un hallazgo incidental asintomático. Puede complicarse por procesos inflamatorios o tumores, cursando con sintomatología abdominal sumamente inespecífica, lo que complica su diagnóstico oportuno. Aunque la incidencia de neoplasias malignas en estos divertículos es baja, los tumores neuroendocrinos son los más representativos. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 72 años que consultó por dolor abdominal y deposiciones melénicas, con múltiples nódulos intrahepáticos sugestivos de tumores neuroendocrinos y hallazgo intraoperatorio incidental de diverticulitis aguda de Meckel con metástasis peridiverticular de un tumor neuroendocrino. (AU)


Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital malformation that usually presents as an incidental finding. It can be complicated by inflammatory processes or tumors, with non-specific abdominal symptoms which delay its timely diagnosis. Although the incidence of malignant neoplasms in these diver-ticula is low, neuroendocrine tumors are the most representative. We present the case of a 72-year-old female patient who consulted for abdominal pain and melenic bowel movements, with multiple intrahepatic nodules suggestive of neuroendocrine tumors and an incidental intraoperative finding of acute Meckel's diverticulitis with peridiverticular metastasis of a neuroendocrine tumor.

ABSTRACT

@#Intussusception refers to the invagination (telescoping) of a part of the intestine into itself. Intussusception occurs primarily in infants and toddlers.1 The peak incidence is between 4 and 36 months of age, and it is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in this age group. 2 Approximately 1 percent of cases are in infants younger than three months, 30 percent between 3 and 12 months, 20 percent between one and two years, 25 percent between two and three years, and 10 percent between three and four years.3 Although intussusception is most common in infants and young children, it is important to consider this diagnosis in children outside this age range. Approximately 10 percent of cases are in children over five years, and 3 to 4 percent in those over 10 years.3,4 We share here images from an actual case of a 15-year-old Filipino male with an ileo-ileal intussusception that is beyond the typical age range, with an incidental finding of an intraluminal mass that was histomorphologically diagnosed as Meckel’s diverticulum (MD). The diagnosis of intussusception is relatively rare in the patient’s age and the diagnosis of MD in the presence of intussusception is sparsely reported in the Philippines.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La hernia de Littré se define como la presencia de un divertículo de Meckel en cualquier orificio herniario. Se han reportados muy pocos casos en la literatura por su frecuencia tan baja referida al 2 por ciento de la población general. Objetivo: Reportar y compartir el tratamiento exitoso de un caso clínico poco frecuente de oclusión intestinal mecánica por hernia de Littré. Caso clínico: Se trata de un paciente masculino, de 69 años de edad, raza blanca y con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial hace siete años, para lo que lleva tratamiento regular con captopril. Acudió al Servicio de Urgencias de Cirugía general del Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Docente "Lucía Íñiguez Landín" por presentar dolor abdominal tipo cólico localizado difusamente, de moderada intensidad, sin irradiación precisa y acompañado de dos vómitos biliosos de poca cantidad, además de parada de la emisión de gases y heces fecales dos días antes, por lo que se ingresó para tratamiento quirúrgico urgente con diagnóstico de oclusión intestinal mecánica. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico preoperatorio de la hernia de Littré es poco probable, sobre todo si se acompaña de oclusión intestinal por lo que casi siempre es transoperatorio. El tratamiento quirúrgico del divertículo depende del estado inflamatorio y vascular(AU)


Introduction: Littré's hernia is defined as the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum in any hernial orifice. Very few cases have been reported in the literature because of its very low frequency, referred to as of 2 percent of the general population. Objective: To report and share the successful management of a rare clinical case of mechanical intestinal occlusion due to Littré's hernia. Clinical case: This is the case of a 69-year-old white male patient with a history of arterial hypertension for seven years, for which he has been receiving regular treatment with captopril. He went to the general surgery emergency department of Lucía Íñiguez Landín Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital for presenting diffusely localized colicky abdominal pain, of moderate intensity, without precise irradiation and accompanied by two small amounts of bilious vomiting, in addition to stopping gas and stool emission two days earlier, for which he was admitted for urgent surgical treatment with a diagnosis of mechanical intestinal occlusion. Conclusions: The preoperative diagnosis of Littré's hernia is unlikely, especially if accompanied by intestinal occlusion, a reason why it is almost always transoperative. The surgical treatment of the diverticulum depends on the inflammatory and vascular status(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El divertículo de Meckel (DdM) es la malformación intestinal congénita más común diagnosticada intraoperatoriamente y requiere una resolución quirúrgica una vez conocido el diagnóstico. El presente estudio describe la experiencia en el tratamiento quirúrgico abierto y laparoscópico del DdM. Metodología: El presente estudio transversal retrospectivo, se realizó en niños tratados en el Hospital de Niños Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde, Guayaquil Ecuador, en un periodo de 8 años con diagnóstico de divertículo de Meckel; se analizan variables como: edad, sexo, síntomas, diagnóstico posquirúrgico, técnica quirúrgica, estancia hospitalaria, complicaciones, resultados de biopsia, presentación clínica. Se utiliza estadística descriptiva univariada. Resultados: Se analizan 81 casos, 52 hombres (64%), 25 lactantes (31%), 23 adolescentes (28%). 50 casos (62%) se presentaron como abdomen agudo, 17 casos (21%) se presentaron como hemorragia intestinal. El DdM incidental durante una apendicitis aguda fue realizado en forma incidental en 23 casos (52%). Fueron 67 casos (83%) fueron sometidos a cirugía abierta y 14 casos (17%) fueron sometidos a cirugía combinada. Las complicaciones fueron 8/67 casos (11.9%) en cirugía abierta, y 1/14 casos (7.1%) en cirugía combinada (P=0.60). Conclusión: La resección laparoscópica de DdM no aumentó el riesgo de morbilidad o el tiempo operatorio.


Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum (MsD) is the most common congenital intestinal malformation diag-nosed intraoperatively and requires surgical resolution once the diagnosis is known. The present study de-scribes the experience in the open and laparoscopic surgical treatment of MsD. Methodology: This cross-sectional - retrospective study was carried out in children treated at the Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde Children's Hospital, Guayaquil - Ecuador, for over eight years with a diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum; variables such as age, sex, symptoms, post-surgical diagnosis, surgical technique, hospital stay, complications, biopsy results, clinical presentation are analyzed. Univariate descriptive statistics are used. Results: 81 cases were analyzed, 52 men (64%), 25 infants (31%), 23 adolescents (28%). 50 cases (62%) pre-sented as acute abdomen, and 17 cases (21%) presented as intestinal hemorrhage. Incidental MD during acute appendicitis was performed incidentally in 23 cases (52%). 67 cases (83%) underwent open surgery, and 14 (17%) underwent combined surgery. Complications were 8/67 cases (11.9%) in open surgery and 1/14 cases (7.1%) in combined surgery (P=0.60). Conclusion: Laparoscopic resection of MsD did not increase the risk of morbidity or operative time.

ABSTRACT

Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly caused by incomplete rotation or absence of rotation of the primitive intestine along the axis of the upper mesenteric artery during embryonic development. Embryonic development and its anatomical variations were described by Dott in 1923. Intestinal malrotation is a rare condition among adults - prevalent in a mere 0.0001% to 0.19% of the population -, and it may be associated with other anatomical deformities. It can be asymptomatic or manifest with varying intensity, from obstruction to necrosis of intestinal segments. In general, this abnormality is diagnosed in the first year of life; however, symptomsmay appear later in life,making diagnosis in adults difficult on account of non-specific symptoms. In the present study, we report a case of intestinal malrotation associated with chronic non-specific symptoms progressing to mesenteric angina. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El divertículo de Meckel es la anomalía congénita más frecuente del tracto gastrointestinal. Por lo general, cursa asintomático, y su diagnóstico es transoperatorio. Cuando presenta síntomas se deben a sus complicaciones, de las cuales la perforación constituye solo el 0,5 por ciento. Objetivo: Describir las características clínico-quirúrgicas de la presentación de un paciente con divertículo de Meckel perforado por cuerpo extraño. Caso clínico: Paciente adulto de 46 años de sexo masculino, piel blanca, que acude con dolor generalizado en el abdomen que se trasladó a Fosa Ilíaca Derecha, con febrícula. Se interviene quirúrgicamente y se halla divertículo de Meckel perforado por cuerpo extraño. Conclusiones: El pronóstico de esta enfermedad depende de la evolución, diagnóstico precoz y tratamiento aplicado en las distintas complicaciones, así como de la decisión de realizar tratamiento quirúrgico en los hallazgos casuales(AU)


Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum is the most frequent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. It is generally asymptomatic, with an intraoperative diagnosis. When it presents symptoms, they are due to its complications, of which perforation accounts for only 0.5 percent. Objective: To describe the clinical-surgical characteristics of a patient who presented with a Meckel's diverticulum perforated by a foreign body. Clinical case: 46-year-old adult patient of the male sex and white skin, who presents with generalized pain in the abdomen that moved to the right iliac fossa and low-grade fever. The patient underwent surgery and a Meckel's diverticulum was found, perforated by a foreign body. Conclusions: The prognosis of this disease depends on the evolution, early diagnosis and applied treatment according to the different complications, as well as on the decision to perform surgical treatment in accidental findings(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La incidencia del divertículo de Meckel en la población general, es aproximadamente del 1 al 2 por ciento y las manifestaciones clínicas son vistas en solo el 20 por ciento de estas personas. El diagnóstico en el 80 por ciento restante es incidental y se hace por hallazgos quirúrgicos. La forma oclusiva de presentación es infrecuente y requiere un elevado índice de sospecha. Objetivos: Describir la presentación clínica y características quirúrgicas de la oclusión intestinal mecánica por divertículo de Meckel en el adulto. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 54 años de edad, que acudió por un cuadro doloroso abdominal y elementos clínicos de un síndrome oclusivo. Durante la intervención quirúrgica se constató un divertículo de Meckel de base ancha, como punto de fijación y vólvulo del intestino delgado. Se realizó resección y anastomosis término - terminal en un plano. La evolución postoperatoria fue satisfactoria. Conclusiones: La oclusión intestinal mecánica, secundaria al divertículo de Meckel, constituye una causa infrecuente de síndrome oclusivo que se debe tener presente en la práctica quirúrgica(AU)


Introduction: The incidence of Meckel's diverticulum in the general population is approximately 1 to 2 percent and clinical manifestations are seen in only 20 percent of these people. The diagnosis in the remaining 80 % is incidental and is made by surgical findings, reported in approximately 2 percent of autopsies. Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and surgical characteristics of mechanical intestinal occlusion by Meckel's diverticulum in the adults. Clinical case: 54-year-old male patient who was attended with a painful abdominal condition and clinical elements of an occlusive syndrome. During surgery, a broad-based Meckel's diverticulum was found as a point of attachment, and small intestine volvulus. A terminal resection and anastomosis was performed in one plane. Postoperative evolution was satisfactory. Conclusions: Mechanical intestinal occlusion secondary to Meckel's diverticulum is a rare cause of occlusive syndrome that must be taken into account in surgical practice(AU)

ABSTRACT

El onfalocele o exónfalos se definen como un defecto congénito de la pared abdominal, que consiste en la herniación de las vísceras abdominales a través del anillo umbilical. Esta entidad rara vez se asocia a la comunicación del divertículo de Meckel con el saco del onfalocele. Teniendo en cuenta la escasa prevalencia de dicha entidad, compartimos el reporte de caso de un paciente recién nacido, con diagnóstico de onfalocele menor, en quien se sospechaba ruptura del saco, sin embargo, de manera intraoperatoria se encontró que la aparente ruptura del saco, correspondía a la comunicación con un divertículo de Meckel. El caso además se asoció con hallazgos ecocardiográficos de tetralogía de Fallot


Omphalocele or exomphalos are defined as a congenital defect of the abdominal wall, which consists of the herniation of the abdominal viscera through the umbilical ring. This entity is rarely associated with the communication of Meckel's diverticulum with the omphalocele sac. Considering the low prevalence of this entity, we report the case of a newborn with a diagnosis of minor omphalocele, in whom rupture of the sac was suspected; however, intraoperatively it was found that the apparent rupture of the sac corresponded to a communication with a Meckel's diverticulum. The case was also associated with echocardiographic findings of tetralogy of Fallot

ABSTRACT

Meckel's diverticulum can be present in up to 1.2% of the population. It is usually diagnosed as an imaging finding, but it can present with complications such as digestive bleeding, intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis, ulcers, and perforation, more frequently in childhood or infancy. The diagnosis workup for this condition will depend on their clinical manifestation, the most frequent being gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure origin or small intestinal bleeding. In this context, although capsule endoscopy is the preferred technique, its diagnostic yield for the detection of Meckel's diverticulum is not entirely clear and it has not been compared in a controlled studies with other diagnostic methods. Here we report the diagnosis of a Meckel diverticulum and its intestinal complications by means of capsule endoscopy in a patient with iron deficiency anemia and gastrointestinal bleeding


El divertículo de Meckel puede estar presente en el 1,2% de la población general. Usualmente es diagnosticado como un hallazgo, pero puede presentarse con mayor frecuencia en la niñez o infancia por sus complicaciones como hemorragia digestiva, obstrucción intestinal, diverticulitis, úlceras y perforación. El enfrentamiento diagnóstico de esta condición dependerá de la manifestación clínica, siendo lo más frecuente hemorragia digestiva de origen oscuro o de intestino delgado. En este contexto, si bien la cápsula endoscópica es la técnica de elección, su rendimiento diagnóstico para la detección del divertículo de Meckel no es del todo claro y no ha sido comparado de forma controlada con otras técnicas diagnósticas. En el presente caso se reporta el diagnóstico de un divertículo de Meckel y sus complicaciones intestinales mediante cápsula endoscópica en una paciente con anemia ferropriva y hemorragia digestiva.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El divertículo de Meckel es la malformación congénita más frecuente del tracto gastrointestinal, generada por un defecto en el cierre del conducto onfalomesentérico. Si bien en la mayoría de los casos son asintomáticos, la presentación clínica más habitual es la de un sangrado digestivo asociado a la presencia de mucosa gástrica ectópica, principalmente durante la niñez, siendo esta presentación clínica infrecuente en adultos.


ABSTRACT Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Its caused by a improper closure of the omphalomesenteric duct. Many cases are asymptomatic, and the most common clinical presentation is a gastrointestinal bleeding by the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa especially during childhood. This clinical presentation is uncommon in adults.

ABSTRACT

El divertículo de Meckel complicado es poco frecuente en el adulto. Presentamos un paciente de 19 años de edad, con dolor abdominal de 11 horas de evolución, encon­ trando al realizar la laparotomía exploradora un divertículo de Meckel gigante, necrosa­ do y volvulado. Las presentaciones más frecuentes del divertículo de Meckel son la obstrucción intestinal y la diverticulitis, esta última da una sintomatología similar a la apendicitis aguda, por lo que al realizar la exploración quirúrgica y encontrar el apéndi­ ce cecal normal, se debe visualizar los últimos 180 cm de íleo terminal.


Meckel's diverticulum is rare in adults. We present a 19­year­old patient with abdominal pain of 11 hours of evolution, finding a giant Meckel diverticulum, necrotic and volvula­ ted, when performing the exploratory laparotomy. The most frequent presentations of Meckel's diverticulum are intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis, the latter being a symptomatology similar to acute appendicitis, surgical surgery and the normal cecal ap­ pendix, the last 180 cm of terminal ileum should be visualiz

ABSTRACT

O divertículo de Meckel (DM) é um vestígio remanescente do ducto vitelino que se forma entre a oitava e nona semanas de gestação. É uma manifestação relativamente comum na população geral (2%), no entanto, raramente desenvolve sintomas. Quando desenvolve sintomas a hematoquezia indolor é o sintoma mais prevalente. A investigação da hematoquezia dolorosa requer a exclusão de diversas patologias gastrointestinais. No presente artigo relatamos o caso de um paciente com DM de apresentação clínica e epidemiologia atípicas e sua investigação, assim como uma revisão de literatura sobre os métodos diagnósticos para se chegar ao DM.


Meckel's diverticulum (DM) is a remnant of the vitelline duct that forms between the eighth and ninth weeks of gestation. It is a relatively common manifestation in the general population (2%), however, it rarely develops symptoms. When symptoms develop, painless hematochezia is the most prevalent symptom. The investigation of painful hematoquezia requires the exclusion of several gastrointestinal pathologies. In the present article we report the case of a patient with atypical clinical and epidemiology DM presentation and it´s investigation, as well as a literature review on the diagnostic methods to arrive at DM.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the value of capsule endoscopy in children with small intestinal diseases with hematochezia as the chief complaint.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data and capsule endoscopy findings of 93 children with hematochezia who were admitted to Children's Hospital of Fudan University from May 2015 to January 2019 and underwent capsule endoscopy. According to the capsule endoscopy findings of the jejunum and the ileum, they were divided into a positive lesion group with 39 patients and a negative lesion group with 54 patients. Related clinical data and the features of lesion on capsule endoscopy were analyzed for the two groups.@*RESULTS@#There were no significant differences in age, sex, duration of capsule endoscopy, gastric transit time, and small intestinal transit time between the positive lesion and negative lesion groups (P>0.05). The positive lesion group had a significantly lower level of hemoglobin than the negative lesion group (P<0.05). Hemoglobin level was negatively correlated with the rate of positive lesions on capsule endoscopy (r=-0.342, P=0.001). Among the 39 patients with positive lesions on capsule endoscopy, the detection of Meckel's diverticulum was the highest (41%), followed by inflammatory bowel disease (21%).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Capsule endoscopy has a certain value in detecting small intestinal diseases, especially diseases in the jejunum and the ileum, in children with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 39 años de edad, que acude al cuerpo de guardia del Hospital General Docente Abel Santamaría Cuadrado por presentar un cuadro de dolor abdominal de tres días de evolución. Se interviene quirúrgicamente con el diagnóstico presuntivo de apendicitis aguda complicada. En el acto quirúrgico se comprobó que el apéndice cecal era normal y al examinar el íleon terminal, a una distancia aproximada de 50 cm se encontró un divertículo de Meckel, y a 5 cm de este, una espina de pescado adherida a la pared intestinal, la cual parecía ser la causante del cuadro, ya que el divertículo también era normal. El tratamiento consistió en trasladar la espina hacia el divertículo y realizar resección intestinal de ese tramo con anastomosis término-terminal. La evolución posoperatoria fue satisfactoria y el paciente fue dado de alta a los 8 días de la operación(AU)


ABSTRACT We present the case of a male patient, 39 years of age, who presents to the emergency room of Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital with a clinical picture of abdominal pain of three days of natural history. He is surgically intervened with the presumptive diagnosis of complicated acute appendicitis. In the surgical act, the cecal appendix was verified to be normal and, when examining the terminal ileum, at a distance of approximately 50 cm, a Meckel's diverticulum was found, and, at 5 cm from this, a fish spine adhered to the intestinal wall, which seemed to be the cause of the clinical picture, since the diverticulum was also normal. The treatment consisted of transferring the spine to the diverticulum and performing intestinal resection of that section with end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative evolution was satisfactory and the patient was discharged 8 days after the operation(AU)

ABSTRACT

El Divertículo de Meckel es la malformación congénita más común del sistema gastrointestinal1 , se produce al obliterarse el conducto onfalomesentérico a nivel proximal formando un divertículo verdadero en el borde anti mesentérico a nivel del íleon, el cual debería cerrarse entre la 5ta y 6ta semana de gestación normalmente. Sus alteraciones pueden dar lugar a pólipos ductales, bandas fibrosas, quistes ductales, fístulas íleoumbilicales o más frecuentemente al Divertículo de Meckel; estas variaciones pueden asociarse a otras malformaciones en el sistema nervioso o cardiovascular2 . Los remanentes onfalomesentéricos son más frecuentes en hombres que en mujeres, con una relación 2:1, siendo la incidencia general de un 2%3 . La mayoría de los casos se mantienen asintomáticos, pero algunos pacientes, sobre todo en edades pediátricas, pueden presentar síntomas como hemorragia gastrointestinal, torsión intestinal, obstrucción o infección4 . Dada su escasa e inespecífica sintomatología, es que podría llevar al clínico a confundirlo con otros diagnósticos diferenciales tales como la Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal, Úlceras u otras patologías. Esta una de las razones por las que nos parece relevante realizar una revisión de las técnicas diagnósticas disponibles en la actualidad con el fin de determinar las mejores opciones diagnosticas dependiendo del medio en que se desenvuelva el clínico.


Meckel Diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal system1 , it occurs when the omphalomesenteric duct is obliterated proximally, forming a true diverticulum in the anti-mesenteric border at the level of the ileum, which should be closed usually between the 5th and 6th week of gestation. Its alterations can give rise to ductal polyps, fibrous bands, ductal cysts, ileo-umbilical fistulas or more frequently to Meckel's diverticulum; These variations can be associated with other malformations in the nervous or cardiovascular system2 . Omphalomesenteric remnants are more frequent in men than in women, with a 2: 1 ratio, with a general incidence of 2% 3 . Most cases remain asymptomatic, but some patients, especially at pediatric ages, may present symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal torsion, obstruction or infection4 . Given its scarce and unspecific symptomatology, it could lead the clinician to confuse it with other differential diagnoses such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcers or other pathologies. This is one of the reasons why it seems relevant to review the diagnostic techniques currently available to determine the best diagnostic options depending on the environment in which the clinician operates

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El divertículo de Meckel es una evaginación en dedo de guante del borde antimesentérico del íleon, constituido por sus capas, debido a una persistencia embriológica del extremo proximal del conducto onfalomesentérico. Forma una bolsa a manera de tubo y que puede extenderse hasta la región umbilical, su inflamación (diverticulitis) produce un cuadro clínico semejante al de la apendicitis aguda, por lo que su diagnóstico preoperatorio es raro. Por lo infrecuente, los médicos no piensan seriamente en esta patología y su diagnóstico definitivo se realiza durante el transoperatorio. Se presentó un caso por lo infrecuente que resulta lo cual aporta conocimiento a la comunidad médica sobre el tema. Paciente de 68 años, acude al centro con dolor tipo cólico, taquicardia y fiebre de 38.5C°, con 24 h de evolución. Refiere que el dolor se le hizo fijo hacia fosa iliaca derecha, el cual se fue intensificando. Se decidió su ingreso para tratamiento quirúrgico. Se realizó apendicectomia y resección y anastomosis en la zona del divertículo. Se recibió biopsia informando diverticulitis de Meckel.


ABSTRACT Meckel's diverticulum is an evagination resembling a glove finger of the ileum anti-mesenteric edge, formed by layers due to an embryologic persistence of the proximal end of omphalo-mesenteric duct. It forms a sac like a tube that may extend up to the umbilical region; its inflammation (diverticulitis) has clinical characteristics similar to the acute appendicitis ones, making its pre-surgery diagnosis very unusual. Due to its frequency, doctors often do not take this disease into account, and it is definitely diagnosed during the trans-operative. The case was presented due to its infrequency, bringing knowledge on the theme to medical community. A patient aged 68 years assisted the hospital with a colic-like pain, tachycardia and fiver of 38.5oC after 24 hours of evolution. He refers that the pain became fixed in the right iliac fosse and got more intensity. The decision was entering him for surgical treatment. Appendectomy, resection and anastomosis were carried out in the area of the diverticulum. The received biopsy informed Meckel's diverticulum.
