  • Title: Giant Meckel's diverticulum. A cause of intestinal obstruction.
    Author: Miller DL, Becker MH, Eng K.
    Journal: Radiology; 1981 Jul; 140(1):93-4. PubMed ID: 7244246.
    Abstract:
    Giant Meckel's diverticula are more likely to cause obstruction than bleeding. In neonates, this is commonly due to volvulus; in adults, it is usually due to adhesions and a mass effect. A lateral view of the abdomen following barium studies can be helpful. This entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction, especially incomplete, intermittent, and chronic forms.
