Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. The incidence is estimated to 2.0% of the normal population. Although most of them are asymptomatic or discovered incidentally, Meckel's diverticulum can be an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction associated with a mesodiverticular band. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy who died after 2 days of abdominal pain and vomiting. Autopsy revealed a segment of infarcted small bowel associated with Meckel's diverticulum and a mesodiverticular band.
Key Word : Meckel’s diverticulum, Mesodiverticular band, Infarction, Unexplained death
