The presence of mesodiverticular band or a band from the diverticulum to the anterior abdominal wall is also described and can cause obstruction or rotation of the small bowel leading to volvulus. Meckel's diverticulum is also well known as the lead point for intussusception. It may be lined by ectopic gastric mucosa and can cause life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. We report a neonate who presented with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to a large, mobile Meckel's diverticulum which due to a direct compression effect on the adjacent small bowel caused mechanical intestinal obstruction. Diagnosis was confirmed at laparoscopy, and treated by curative surgical resection. This is the first report of a large mobile Meckel's diverticulum causing small bowel obstruction due to direct compression that was managed by minimally invasive surgical resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2012-006956","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,15]],"date-time":"2012-12-15T08:08:53Z","timestamp":1355558933000},"page":"bcr2012006956","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Neonatal intestinal obstruction secondary to a floppy meckel's diverticulum successfully treated by minimal access surgery"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Dayang Anita Abdul","family":"Aziz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syariz I","family":"Sehat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marjmin","family":"Osman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faizah Mohd","family":"Zaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.4.5683.622-b"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-197601000-00006"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/1319-3767.58760"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jrsm.99.10.501"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"901456","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/901456","article-title":"Small bowel obstruction due to mesodiverticular band of Meckel's diverticulum: a case report","volume":"2010","author":"Sumer","year":"2010","journal-title":"Case Report Med"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.6","first-page":"222","article-title":"Knotting of ileum by Meckel's diverticulum leading to acute small bowel obstruction: an exceptional case","volume":"17","author":"Yagnik","year":"2011","journal-title":"Saudi J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-1-8"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4293\/108680811X13176785204607"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.9","first-page":"310","article-title":"Laparoscopic-assisted resection of Meckel's diverticulum in children","volume":"10","author":"Prasad","year":"2006","journal-title":"JSLS"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.10","first-page":"253","article-title":"Laparoscopy for treating a small bowel obstruction due to a Meckel's diverticulum","volume":"7","author":"Tashjian","year":"2003","journal-title":"JSLS"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3468(93)90437-P"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.02.024"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1177\/000313480807400410","article-title":"Video-assisted transumbilical Meckel's diverticulectomy in children","volume":"74","author":"Clark","year":"2008","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"2025042707542610000_2012.dec14_1.bcr2012006956.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-008-9832-0"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-006956","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,27]],"date-time":"2025-04-27T14:54:46Z","timestamp":1745765686000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-006956"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,14]]},"references-count":14,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2012-006956"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-006956","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,14]]}}}
