there is a good correlation between the findings identified by PET-CT and the endoscopic study. In our study, a SUVmax > 11 g/ml suggests a malignant pathology, which aids the prioritization of an endoscopic study.
Meckel's diverticulum is present in 2% of the general population and its inverted presentation is rare. The most frequent complications are gastrointestinal hemorrhage, obstruction, intussusception and perforation. In general, these complications occur in the first two decades of life, and mostly before the fourth decade. We present a case of inverted MD that started as a digestive hemorrhage of obscure origin in a 77-year-old man who was diagnosed by endoscopic capsule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
