The patient came to the emergency department with an abdominal pain and elevated acute-phase reactants. An abdominal CT revealed a 17 cm long Meckel\u2019s diverticulum with signs of severe inflammation. The patient was then taken to the operating room, and subjected to a 4 cm ileum resection, including the entire diverticulum, with a manual end-to-end anastomosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although Meckel\u2019s diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the intestinal tract, it is unusual for it to cause symptoms in adults. However, when a patient arrives at the emergency department with a complicated Meckel\u2019s diverticulum, an early diagnosis is essential to prevent serious complications, such as perforation of the diverticulum and subsequent peritonitis. The presence of a giant diverticulum is an extremely rare condition. There are few publications to date, but these diverticula are associated with more complications, presenting a higher risk of torsion, volvulus or intestinal obstruction.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>This paper include a bibliographic review of existing studies on etiopathogenesis, and the diagnosis and treatment of complicated Meckel\u2019s diverticulum, particularly in its giant variant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although Meckel\u2019s diverticulitis is a rare entity, it can appear as an acute abdomen.
