Abstract

Background: Meckel's diverticulum and intestinal duplication malformations are two isolated digestive tract malformations in children. It is uncommon to see cases of both digestive tract malformations occurring at the same time. This report presents a rare case of Meckel's diverticulum complicated with intestinal duplication, highlighting the importance of intraoperative exploration.

Case presentation: A 5-year-old Han Chinese boy presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. The patient had tenderness in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Preoperative imaging suggested Meckel's diverticulum, but intraoperative exploration revealed both Meckel's diverticulum and intestinal duplication. Surgical resection and anastomosis were performed, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was discharged 7 days after surgery.

Conclusion: Meckel's diverticulum combined with intestinal duplication malformations is rare, and intraoperative exploration is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of surgical disease.

梅克尔憩室合并肠重复1例。

背景：梅克尔憩室和肠道重复畸形是儿童两种孤立的消化道畸形。这是罕见的情况下，看到两个消化道畸形发生在同一时间。本文报告一例罕见的Meckel憩室合并肠重复，强调术中探查的重要性。病例介绍：一名5岁汉族男孩，表现为腹痛和呕吐。病人右下腹有压痛。术前影像学提示Meckel憩室，术中探查同时发现Meckel憩室和肠道重复。手术切除吻合，组织病理学证实诊断。术后7天出院。结论：Meckel憩室合并肠重复畸形较为少见，术中探查对外科疾病的诊断和治疗至关重要。
