Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and represents a frequent cause of unexplained lower gastrointestinal bleeding in children. Bleeding associated with Meckel’s diverticulum is often massive, recurrent, and difficult to diagnose preoperatively, leading to delays in appropriate surgical management.
