Meckel's diverticulum is an evolution of omphalomesentric channel one of the most frequent embryologic abnormality of digestive tract. It is observed in two circumstances: during a routine exploration or after a complication: intestinal obstruction, peritonitis, recurrent abdominal pain. Only open or laparoscopic explorations allow a diagnosis. Resection of the diverticulum is recommended in children because the complications are frequent and serious. The preferred therapeutic method is the bowel resection with immediate anastomosis.
