An Unusual Case of Meckel Diverticulitis Misdiagnosed as an Infected Urachal Cyst

Conclusion: Preoperatory diagnosis of MD represents a challenge. We want to emphasize the necessity of a thorough inspection of the small bowel during all abdominal surgical interventions and MD surgical excision regardless of its macroscopic appearance. These two actions seem to be the best prophylaxis measures for MD complications and consequently to avoid emergency surgery, in which case more extensive surgical procedures on an unstable patient may be needed.PMID:34068430 | PMC:PMC8153632 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57050495
