[Diagnostic image (122). A boy with serious rectal bleeding. Meckel's diverticulum].

Abstract

An 11-year-old boy presenting with serious rectal bleeding had a negative Meckel scintigraphy. On a barium small bowel followthrough, a small accumulation of contrast was seen outside the contour of the ileum, caused by a Meckel's diverticulum after all.
