Right Lower Quadrant Pain: Don’t Forget Meckel Diverticulitis

Meckel's diverticulum is one of the most common congenital abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. It can present a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations but is often found unexpectedly. In the rare situation that symptoms do arise, these diverticula can lead to serious complications, especially infection that pose a life-threatening risk. In this case study, we discuss a 26-year-old male patient who presented pain in the right iliac fossa and emphasize how imaging played a crucial role in the diagnosis of this complication mimicking symptoms of acute appendicitis.
