description Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital gastrointestinal abnormality. Clinical presentation is normally in childhood with either hemorrhage or an acute surgical abdomen. The much rarer giant Meckel’s diverticulum is associated with a more varied clinical presentation. In this case report, we provide a unique example of presentation with isolated faltering growth related to a giant Meckel’s diverticulum in a young boy. We discuss the diagnostic process, imaging modalities, and subsequent surgical procedure.
