ABSTRACT
Meckel’s diverticulitis or Meckel’s associated pathology frequently presents in childhood with gastrointestinal bleeding. It is rarely seen in adults. It is a congenital abnormality that commonly goes undetected. We present a case of a perforated Meckel’s diverticulum due to fishbone ingestion in an elderly gentleman. The aim of this case report is to highlight the rare presentation of a perforation in a Meckel’s diverticulum due to an extrinsic pathology and to outline diagnostic and management options in cases of Meckel’s diverticulum.
