BACKGROUND: Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum with enteroliths is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of perforation of Meckel's diverticulum with one enterolith, which could not be accurately diagnosed by preoperative computed tomography.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old male patient with acute onset of severe abdominal pain and a localized muscle guarding in the right hypochondrium had a solitary stone detected in the right abdomen by radiography. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a saclike outpouching of the small intestine, which contained fluid levels and an enterolith, with a mesenteric inflammatory change in the right paraumbilical area. He was diagnosed with peritonitis due to appendicitis or Meckel's diverticulitis with enterolith, and emergency operation was indicated. The perforated Meckel's diverticulum was identified approximately 30 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. The diverticulum was transected at the base and removed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.
CONCLUSIONS: It is crucial for clinicians to thoroughly examine patients and appropriately request investigations that consider perforation of Meckel's diverticulum as a possible diagnosis to facilitate prompt treatment.
