📄 Abstract
Meckelâ??s Diverticulum is the most commonly diagnosed congenital anomaly of the intestine and is a form of embryonic remnant with incomplete omphalomesenteric canal obliteration. Herniation of this leads to a Littreâ??s hernia and in itself is a very rare phenomenon. Here we present a case of strangulated Meckelâ??s diverticulum in an umbilical hernia manifesting as an acute abdomen with shock. The patient was taken up for exploratory laparotomy and the intestine was found to be viable which improved with oxygen and humidification. The defect was extended and the contents were reduced with primary closure of the defect. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged after complete intestinal recovery.
