A Late Diagnosis of a Complicated Meckel’s Diverticulum - The First Case of An Enterocolic Fistula Secondary to a Meckel’s Diverticulum in a Paediatric Patient And Review of the Literature

We report a case of acute-on-chronic bowel obstruction in a three year old girl due to an enterocolic fistula secondary to a Meckel’s diverticulum (MD). This is the first case presenting in a paediatric patient. We discuss the varied ways a MD can cause bowel obstruction, look at the presentation of MD as an enterocolic fistula and discuss the management of chronically dilated large bowel in a paediatric patient.
