Ruptured Meckel’s Mesodiverticulum and Meckel’s Diverticulum following Blunt Abdominal Trauma

Abstract

This case shows that a blunt abdominal trauma can tear the mesodiverticulum and rupture the Meckel's diverticular base simultaneously, resulting in hemoperitoneum and chemical peritonitis. Diagnosis and management of this type of injury are basically the same as those of acute surgical abdomen following trauma.
