Torsion is a rare complication of MD with only 48 cases described in the English literature to date. We describe a case of a 22-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain. Pre-operative computed tomography scan suggested a torted MD. This was confirmed on diagnostic laparoscopy and managed with segmental resection of the MD and a concurrent appendicectomy. Histopathology confirmed torsion of MD and a normal appendix. The patient recovered well without any complications. Torsion occurs invariably with giant MD defined as a length of &amp;gt;5\u00a0cm. Surgical options for MD include diverticulectomy, wedge resection and segmental resection via laparoscopic or open approach. The rate of pre-operative diagnosis remains low but with advances in imaging and awareness of this condition, this is likely to increase with time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,1]],"date-time":"2024-02-01T13:44:52Z","timestamp":1706795092000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Torsion of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum\u2014a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5206-6154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kah A","family":"Ho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UNSW Faculty of Medicine and Health, School of Clinical Medicine, , Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rajkumar","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNSW Bankstown Hospital, , Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107631","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107631","article-title":"Acute abdomen following axial torsion of a Giant Meckel's diverticulum in a young male: a case report","volume":"99","author":"Munasinghe","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e12154","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012154","article-title":"Systematic review of epidemiology, presentation, and management of Meckel's diverticulum in the 21st century","volume":"97","author":"Hansen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"416","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.21094","article-title":"Meckel's diverticulum: a review","volume":"24","author":"Uppal","year":"2011","journal-title":"Clin Anat"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1285","DOI":"10.1007\/s10620-005-2774-7","article-title":"Recurrent torsion of a giant Meckel's diverticulum","volume":"50","author":"Tan","year":"2005","journal-title":"Dig Dis Sci"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.01.023","article-title":"Perforated Giant Meckel diverticulitis in an elderly patient: case report and review of the literature","volume":"43","author":"Malcolm","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2018.00055","article-title":"Meckel's diverticulum in adults: surgical concerns","volume":"5","author":"Blouhos","year":"2018","journal-title":"Front Surg"},{"key":"2024020113444238700_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107419","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107419","article-title":"Gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum with small bowel obstruction mimicking complicated appendicitis: Case report","volume":"97","author":"Bejiga","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/1\/rjad740\/56484995\/rjad740.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2024\/1\/rjad740\/56484995\/rjad740.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,1]],"date-time":"2024-02-01T13:44:57Z","timestamp":1706795097000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad740\/7593657"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad740","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"article-number":"rjad740"}}
