Intermittent small bowel obstruction caused by Meckel's enterolith

Abstract

A 56-year-old man presented with small bowel obstruction after a 6-week history of intermittent resolving subacute small bowel obstruction. After investigations, he underwent laparotomy. A mobile, narrow-necked Meckel's diverticulum packed with enteroliths pressing against proximal small bowel was discovered.A small bowel resection was performed.
