    Gangrene due to axial torsion of a Giant Meckel's Diverticulum containing multiple stones in the lumen: a case report.

    Nunes QM, Hotouras A, Tiwari S, Sheth A.

    Abstract

    Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction and inflammation. Gangrene due to axial torsion and enteroliths of a Meckel's diverticulum are the rarest complications that have been reported in the literature. We report a case of gangrene due to axial torsion of giant Meckel's diverticulum with multiple stones in its lumen.
