Abstract
Meckel's diverticulum is the most frequent congenital gastrointestinal malformation and the clinical presentation varies from the absence of symptoms to intestinal obstruction or secondary perforation due to a foreign body. When reviewing the literature we found an interesting article by Fonseca et al., which describes the perforation of a Meckel's diverticulum by a fishbone. In this case, no imaging tests were used for diagnosis as there was a high clinical suspicion of a Meckel's diverticulitis. Recently, we had a similar patient to the one described by Fonseca et al.
