The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features of Meckel\u2019s diverticula at different ages, genders, and pathology in order to serve as a reminder to clinicians when evaluating potential cases and to help obtain an early diagnosis. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We collected information of patients with Meckel\u2019s diverticulum diagnosed at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan from 1984 to 2009. After performing a thorough review of their charts, the clinical features of the Meckel\u2019s diverticula were analyzed according to age groups, gender, and pathology. <jats:italic>Result<\/jats:italic>. A total of 126 patients, with 90 males and 36 females, were enrolled in this study. Seventy-five patients were symptomatic and 51 Meckel\u2019s diverticula were found incidentally during surgery for other diseases. Among symptomatic patients, 39% of pediatric patients and 5% of adult patients had intestinal hemorrhage. Twenty-eight percent of pediatric patients and 67% of adult patients had inflammation of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum. Forty-six percent of males and 16% of females had inflammation. Conversely, 27% of males and 58% percent of females had intestinal obstruction. When Meckel\u2019s diverticulum had ectopic gastric mucosa, it tended to cause intestinal hemorrhage when the patient is young. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Age, gender, and pathology affect the clinical presentations of Meckel\u2019s diverticula.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/390869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,1]],"date-time":"2014-04-01T21:02:42Z","timestamp":1396386162000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Meckel\u2019s
