ABSTRACT
Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by foreign bodies is an extremely rare cause of acute abdomen in adults. We report a case of perforated Meckel's diverticulum by a chicken bone with localized abdominal abscess in a 46-year old man. The patient had been brought to the hospital with fever, abdominal pain and abdominal distention. On computed tomography, the mass-like lesion was considered to be an abdominal abscess caused by perforated bowel due to a suspicious foreign body. Resection of a segment of ileum including the perforated diverticulum was performed; the patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged. We report this rare case of perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by a chicken bone with a review of the literature.
