Abstract
MECKEL DIVERTICULUM IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON MALFORMATIONS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, BEING RARELY ENCOUNTERED IN ADULTS (2%), AND ITS PREOPERATIVE FINDING IS A RARITY. WE PRESENTED THE CASE OF A 24-YEAR-OLD PATIENT HOSPITALIZED WITH PAIN IN THE RIGHT ILIAC FOSSA, VOMITING AND SUB -FEBRILITY, SYMPTOMS THAT STARTED INSIDIOUSLY THREE WEEKS BEFORE HOSPITALIZATION. THE LOCAL EXAMINATION REVEALED A NORMAL ABDOMINAL CONFORMATION, SENSITIVE SPONTANEOUSLY AND ON PALPATION AT THE LEVEL OF THE RIGHT ILIAC FOSSA, WITH A SLIGHT TENDERNESS AT THIS LEVEL; NO OTHER SIGNS OF PERITONEAL IRRITATION. AFTER PREOPERATIVE EXAMINATION AND PROPER PREPARATION, SURGERY IS PERFORMED FOR LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY, BUT DUE TO L ACK OF INSTRUMENTATION MEDIAN SUPRAPUBIAN LAPAROTOMY WAS DONE. THE POSTOPERATIVE EVOLUTION OF THE PATIENT WAS FAVORABLE, SO WE DECIDED TO DISCHARGE 6 DAYS LATER.
