- Abstract
Twist is the rarest complication of Meckel's diverticulum (DM). We did not find a case published in African literature. We report a case of twisted "giant" diverticulum occurred in a 15-year-old boy who had consulted for abdominal pain. Operated in emergency, the diagnosis was intraoperative. The diverticulum was 14 cm long and 5 cm in diameter. It was twisted at its base, totally necrotic and perforated at the top. We performed a resection carrying the diverticulum followed by a terminoterminal ileal ileal anastomosis. The postoperative course was simple.
