[Meckel diverticulum in patients older than 85 years.].

Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain in patients older than 85 years old. We present two female patients, older than 85 years old, treated surgicaly with symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum. This diagnosis wasn't suspected in a preoperative way in both cases. Complications of Meckel's diverticulum are rarely considered in the geriatric population.
