Abstract
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract which is caused by incomplete obliteration of omphalomesenteric duct. It usually presents before the age of 2 years and is twice as common in females. In this report, we present a case of an axial torsion and gangrene of a large MD in a 15-year-old mentally challenged adolescent.
