ABSTRACT
Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain and small bowel obstruction in adults. We present a case of a 28-yr-old man with acute pain for whom the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum was not suspected until exploratory laparotomy was performed. The procedure revealed a huge gangrenous Meckel's diverticum that was torsioned, and it gave rise to ileal obstruction.
