Clinicians must consider MD in acute abdomen cases to avoid diagnostic delays. Perforated MD can lead to serious complications. Timely use of advanced imaging and surgical assessment is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract<\/jats:title><jats:p>Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a gastrointestinal congenital anomaly that signifies a persistent remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct. While frequently asymptomatic, its complications vary widely, ranging from mild and painless to potentially life\u2010threatening conditions. This is a case of a 4\u2010year\u2010old female patient with sudden abdominal pain and tenderness, with an elusive cause before surgery. The definitive diagnosis of a perforated MD was established during diagnostic laparoscopy due to worsening symptoms. Detecting MD and its potential complications requires a high degree of suspicion. Once recognized, prompt management is essential to prevent further complications. Although perforation is uncommon in MD, its symptoms can mimic acute appendicitis, confusing emergency settings. This article underscores the significance of diagnosing MD, despite its rarity, and emphasizes the necessity for swift treatment upon identification.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.9361","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T12:09:02Z","timestamp":1724760542000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Recognizing perforated Meckel's diverticulum: A crucial differential in acute appendicitis imitation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Faiza Azeema","family":"Shaikh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery SVS Medical College  Yenugonda India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dilip Vasant","family":"KA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery SVS Medical College  Yenugonda India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0100-0075","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Humaira","family":"Shaikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shadan Institute of Medical Science and Research  Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9635-9891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malik Olatunde","family":"Oduoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Medical Research Circle (MedReC)  Goma Democratic Republic of Congo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Intussusception Due to Invaginated Meckel's Diverticulum: Report of Two Cases with a Study of 160 Cases Collected from the Literature\" by HN Harkins. 1933 Ann Surg pp. 1070\u20131095.","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-193312000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/2012.3.4"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijms.4170"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0189-6725.194671"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014107680609901011"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pedneo.2013.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","volume-title":"Surgical Treatment: Evidence\u2010Based and Problem\u2010Oriented","author":"Stallion A","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2017.05.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2019.00267"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sla.0000154270.14308.5f"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr.20130743"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893\u2010017\u20100236\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000007760"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2012.02.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-7-231"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-024-02323-4"}],"container-title":["Clinical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.9361","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]],"date-time":"2024-12-12T11:22:09Z","timestamp":1734002529000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ccr3.9361"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ccr3.9361"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ccr3.9361","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-0904","2050-0904"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-0904","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-0904","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-04-15","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-07-30","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-08-27","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e9361"}}
