Abstract A 44‐year‐old man presented to our hospital with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. We performed balloon‐assisted enteroscopy, which revealed diverticulum and stricture at the ileum. The patient underwent segmental small bowel resection and diagnosed with Meckel's diverticulum. We should keep in mind the possibility of intestinal stricture due to Meckel's diverticulum.
