Perforated Meckel´s diverticulum in large omphalocele: a case report

Abstract

Omphalocele is a midline abdominal wall defect that can be associated with other abnormalities. In this case report, we present a case of a newborn male with a perforated Meckel's diverticulum adherent within an omphalocele and intestinal malrotation; a very few cases of the coexistence of Omphalocele and Meckel's diverticulum have been described, so we highlight the multidisciplinary management. Consent to publish the case report was not obtained. This report does not contain any personal information that could lead to the identification of the patient. Since this is a case report we didn’t use any statistical tool. The validity and reliability of this case due to its detailed clinical account, citation of existing literature, and adherence to established medical knowledge.
