Meckel’s Diverticulum as a Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction Complicated with Gangrene in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy: A Case Report

Acute abdomen during pregnancy is rare. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging, preoperative diagnosis in the pregnant population due to anatomical and physiological changes can pose difficulties. Diagnosis and surgery delays increase the risk of adverse outcomes for both maternal and fetal health....

description Acute abdomen during pregnancy is rare. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging, preoperative diagnosis in the pregnant population due to anatomical and physiological changes can pose difficulties. Diagnosis and surgery delays increase the risk of adverse outcomes for both maternal and fetal health. In symptomatic cases, explorative surgery might be essential for correct diagnosis and patient treatment. Here, we present Meckel’s diverticulum as an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction complicated with gangrene in a 34-week pregnant patient. The diagnosis was only apparent during explorative surgical laparotomy.
