Abstract
The roentgenographic manifestations of Meckel’s diverticulum are: (1) gas within the diverticulum; (2) abscess formation or fluid in the abdomen from perforation; or (3) small bowel obstruction.Barium studies may demonstrate: (1) the diverticulum; (2) intussusception; (3) persistent separation of bowel loops about an inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum; or (4) filling defect in the barium-filled ileum.Angiography may be used to reveal the bleeding site in the diverticulum.Technetium 99 pertechnetate is taken up by the gastric mucosa in a Meckel’s diverticulum.Keywords
