“… 9 However, intestinal obstruction is the most frequent manifestation in adults, accounting for 14% to 40% of cases of symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. 10 Other complications are diverticulitis, 11 perforation, 12 and tumor. 13 Although the prevalence of Meckel’s diverticulum ranges from 0.3% to 2.9% in the general population, 2 a delayed diagnosis leads to life-threatening events.…”

Small bowel volvulus secondary to Meckel’s diverticulum is rare, and a delayed diagnosis results in disastrous outcomes. Computed tomography is conducive to early differential diagnosis. In particular, a blind-ending pouch structure on CT always indicates Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with or without adjacent partial small intestinal resection is the standard treatment for symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. However, the therapy for asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is controversial. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old man who suffered intestinal obstruction secondary to small bowel volvulus caused by an axially torsional, gangrenous, and giant Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with partial intestinal resection was performed.

El presente caso muestra a un adolescente de 17 años, alérgico a las penicilinas, que cursa con signos de alarma como pérdida ponderal, saciedad precoz y disfagia, no obstante presentaba un síndrome inespecífico que causaba compatibilidad con la diverticulitis de Meckel y el poco frecuente, síndrome de Wilkie. Este solapamiento sindromático causó confusión en el médico tratante comprometiendo el pronóstico del paciente. Este reporte de caso demuestra un reto terapéutico que engloba una larga lista de síntomas inespecíficos compatibles con diferentes enfermedades y por consiguiente diferentes tratamientos. El clínico deberá ser crítico con la sensibilidad y especificidad del método diagnóstico y así mismo tomar en cuenta el panorama epidemiológico para determinar o descartar enfermedades menos probables. El presente reporte de caso sigue las directrices Case Report Guidelines.
