Mesodiverticular Band of Meckel’s Diverticulum Causing Small Intestinal Obstruction in Littre Hernia

Abstract

Mesodiverticular band associated with Meckel’s diverticulum can lead to surgical emergencies like intestinal obstruction or volvulus and may prove fatal as this pathology is quite rare, it may escape the clinical diagnosis. This band needs to be excised during emergent laparotomy along with Meckel’s diverticulectomy. A high level of clinical suspicion and surgical acumen is required to manage this rare condition and have an uneventful recovery of the patient.
