Idiopathic Meckel's diverticulum perforation presenting at birth
Abstract
Although symptomatic Mickel's Diverticulum (MD) in infants is rare, we report a case of perforated (MD) at birth in a full term male with signs of peritoneal irritation. Because of the rareness of perforated (MD) in infants, predicting the preoperative diagnosis is so difficult, but it doesn't affect the prognosis.
