Intraoperative enteroscopy is accepted as the ultimate diagnostic procedure for complete investigation of the small bowel. Despite the introduction of double-balloon enteroscopy into clinical practice, intraoperative enteroscopy will be reserved for those cases where double-balloon enteroscopy cannot be performed or fails to investigate the entire small intestine, especially to prevent excessive bowel resection.

IntroductionMeckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Authors present a 67-year-old woman treated for iron deficiency anemia for the past 5 years. Suddenly, her disease was presented with painless severe gastrointestinal bleeding (fresh melena). Inverted Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue as a source of severe gastrointestinal bleeding was diagnosed by intraoperative enteroscopy.ConclusionA combination of inversion of Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue is extremely rare, particularly in elderly patient. Capsule endoscopy, double balloon enteroscopy, and ultimately intraoperative enteroscopy may be helpful in timely diagnosis.
