摘要
A patient aged 26 was investigated for recurrent severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Over a 4-year period, he was transfused more than 400 units of blood. Multiple investigations included three negative Meckel's scans. A right hemicolectomy for supposed angiodysplasia failed to control his bleeding. Wireless capsule endoscopy demonstrated the presence of a Meckel's diverticulum. At a repeat laparotomy, the ulcerated Meckel's diverticulum was identified and resected. The patient had no further bleeding and had a normal haemoglobin level on repeat blood tests up to 12 months after surgical excision of the diverticulum.
