Abstract

A 72-year-old woman with no surgical history suffering from abdominal pain and referred after conservative 2-day treatment elsewhere was hospitalized for subileus but symptoms became worse. We operated the day after admission under a diagnosis of strangulated ileus. We found the ileum strangulated due to a knot in a long Meckel's diverticulum. We resected the Meckel's diverticulum and necrotic intestine and conducted end-to-end anastomosis. The clinical course was good. Strangulated ileus due to a knot in a Meckel's diverticulum is very rare, with our case only the eigth reported in Japan.
