Inverted Meckel's diverticulum: A case report and role of Radiological Imaging

Inverted Meckel's diverticulum is a condition in which the diverticulum inverts itself into the bowel. It needs to be understood how such an inversion occurs due to the condition's rarity. However, some factors contributing to the inversion include abnormal peristalsis around the diverticulum and non-fixity of the diverticulum itself. The inverted diverticulum can cause luminal compromise and act as a lead point for intussusception, leading to obstruction. It is rarely encountered in medical practice. We present a 34-year-old male who presented multiple times with complaints of recurrent intermittent right-sided abdominal pain of about 2 years duration. He subsequently developed more intense abdominal pain associated with vomiting and poor oral intake. Imaging revealed an ileocolic intussusception with no intestinal obstruction
