In an Ileal Diverticulum (Meckel's Diverticulum) - Gastric Perforation: Report of a Fatal Case

The ileal diverticulum (Meckel's diverticulum) is a congenital outpouching located in the distal ileum which occurs due to the failure of obliteration of the yolk stalk. The peak age in which this anomaly is mostly found is the pediatric age especially below the age of two. Hence it is noted as...
