Bleeding Meckel's diverticulum in infancy: unusual scintigraphic and ultrasound appearances

Pediatr Radiol. 1995;25(2):155-6. doi: 10.1007/BF02010334.

Abstract

We report a case of a bleeding Meckel's diverticulum where scintigraphic and sonographic findings were thought to suggest an ileal duplication. We are not aware of previous reports of sonographic imaging of an uncomplicated Meckel's diverticulum.
