  • Title: Perforated Meckel's Diverticulitis.
    Author: Colvin RW, Al-Katib S, Ebersole J.
    Journal: J Gastrointest Surg; 2017 Dec; 21(12):2126-2128. PubMed ID: 28744739.
    Abstract:
    A Meckel's diverticulum is a vestigial remnant present in approximately 2% of the population. Fewer than 10% of patients with a Meckel's diverticulum develop clinical complications, and such findings are exceedingly rare in the geriatric population. We present a case of perforated Meckel's diverticulitis with a fistulous tract involving the anterior abdominal wall in an 85-year-old male.
