INTRODUCTION: Intusussception leading to intestinal obstruction is a known complication of Meckel's diverticulum. Inverting of Meckel's acts as a lead point for intussusception. Causes of inversion are many but surgical inversion leading to intusussception is extremely rare.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: We hereby report a case of a 14 year adolescent boy operated previously for open appendicetomy presenting to us with intestinal obstruction who on exploration was found to have an surgically inverted Meckel's diverticulum acting as a lead point for ileo-colic intusussception.
DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, surgically inverting any Meckel's diverticulum is never a treatment option even when the diverticulum is incidentally detected. Diverticulectomy or segmental resection is the procedure of choice for Meckel's diverticulum.
CONCLUSION: Meckel's divereticulum should never be inverted surgically. Not only it is a wrong method but also increases the risk of complications.
