Meckel Diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, occurring in approximately 2% of the general population. It is due to a failure of regression of the vitelline or vitellointestinal duct at 5-7 weeks of gestational age in the developing fetus. It is often detected early on in life, before the age of 2. Meckel Diverticulum is most often asymptomatic in adults, but can present with a variety of signs and symptoms in certain patient populations. In this lesson, we discuss the “Rule of 2s”, the signs and symptoms along with the complications of having a Meckel Diverticulum, how it is diagnosed and how it is treated.\n
