  • Title: [Ulcer perforation in Meckel's diverticulum].
    Author: Büchler M, Bittner R, Malfertheiner P, Krautzberger W.
    Journal: Leber Magen Darm; 1984 Jul; 14(4):185-7. PubMed ID: 6482644.
    Abstract:
    Ectopic gastric mucosa can be found in 40-80% of Meckel's diverticula; parietal cells producing acid are not inhibited by regulatory factors, giving rise in some cases to ulcers, which may perforate. A case report of a patient with a perforated ulcer in a Meckel's diverticulum is given. Meckel's diverticula should be removed surgically when they are diagnosed or when they are found by chance during surgery because of the risk of complications.
