Abstract

A mesodiverticular band is a rare embryological remnant of arterial supply to the Meckel's diverticulum in utero. A persistent mesodiverticular band can cause bowel compression leading to obstruction. Internal herniation through a mesodiverticular band is very rare. We report a case of an 8yr old boy who presented with intestinal obstruction secondary to a mesodiverticular band and internal herniation. Internal herniation with a mesodiverticular band is a rare complication of Meckel’s diverticulum.
