Abstract:

Meckel's Diverticulum (MD) is a saccular formation present in the lower part of the intestine, and is considered one of the most common congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. The bulge of muscular dystrophy in a hernia sac is called a Littre's hernia. The name originates from Alexis Littre, who first described this disease in the eighteenth century. This type of presentation is rare; only a few cases have been reported in the literature.
