Abstract
A human case report of bleeding from a Meckel''s diverticulum diagnosed by 99mTc pertechnetate scanning is presented. The noninvasive advantage of this method justifies its early use as a diagnostic measure when a Meckel''s diverticulum is suspected in the differential diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
