  • Title: Bleeding Meckel's diverticulum presenting as focal extravasation on pertechnetate scintigraphy.
    Author: Lotfi K, Oates E.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1996 Jan; 21(1):1-3. PubMed ID: 8741879.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of gastrointestinal hemorrhage may include a Meckel's scan, particularly in children. Typically, a Meckel's diverticulum shows discrete, focal uptake in the right lower abdomen. The authors describe an adult whose bleeding Meckel's diverticulum manifested as brisk, intermittent intraluminal tracer extravasation.
