Abstract
Introduction Inverted Meckel diverticulum has been identied as the lead point for intussusception in
adult in about 4%, very rare in pediatric age group and very few cases has been reported so far. Modern
imaging helps but imaging and operative discordance are not reported. It is difcult to diagnose inversion of Meckel
diverticulum preoperatively To report a case of 18-month-old girl presented with multiple ep Aims And Objective- isodes of
bilious vomitings, pain abdomen and grossly distended abdomen, diagnosed with intussusception upon performing
exploratory laparotomy there was an inverted Meckel diverticulum acting as a lead point for intussusception DiscussionMechanism of inversion of Meckel diverticulum is not clearly understood. It is presumed that abnormal peristaltic movement
around the diverticulum and non-xity of the diverticulum itself. The inverted diverticulum itself can cause luminal compromise
and acts as a lead point for intussusception leading to obstruction Intussusception due to Conclusion- inverted Meckel
diverticulum is rare in children and can only be detected intraoperatively. A denitive preoperative clinical or radiological
diagnosis is difcult. However inverted Meckel diverticulum is a denite clinical entity and may cause intussusception in
children
