Complications associated with Meckel\u2019s diverticulum are due to gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding or obstruction. A 5-day-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with an episode of bright red blood per rectum (BRBPR) associated with emesis. Vital signs were normal and abdomen soft and non-distended. Serial abdominal radiographs progressed to show distention of small bowel and air fluid levels. Operative intervention was undertaken with diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy, 24\u00a0cm of a fibrosed, ischemic closed-loop ileal segment densely adherent to the tip of a Meckel\u2019s diverticulum was identified and resected, followed by primary reanastamosis. Histologic findings confirmed ectopic gastric tissue. Symptomatic Meckel\u2019s diverticulum is often secondary to intestinal obstruction and hematochezia, findings which are caused by incarcerated inguinal hernia or ileocolic intussusception. Our patient presented with a closed loop, which has not been previously reported.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348211060431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]],"date-time":"2022-03-18T09:28:32Z","timestamp":1647595712000},"page":"2904-2906","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Meckel\u2019s Diverticulum, A Rare Presentation in a Neonate"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Jesse","family":"Honig","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, New York City Health+ Hospitals, New York Medical College Academic, Valhalla, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6848-7527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ariel","family":"Figueroa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan Hospital, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, New York City Health+ Hospitals, New York Medical College Academic, Valhalla, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitra","family":"Lotakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan Hospital, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahrukh","family":"Bamji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan Hospital, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Wallack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan Hospital, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arthur","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metropolitan Hospital, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00031348211060431","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2019.00267"},{"key":"bibr2-00031348211060431","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012154"},{"key":"bibr3-00031348211060431","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2017.11.059"},{"key":"bibr4-00031348211060431","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2001.05344.x"}],"container-title":["The American Surgeon\u2122"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348211060431","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/00031348211060431","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348211060431","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:35:16Z","timestamp":1777379716000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00031348211060431"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/00031348211060431"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00031348211060431","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1348","1555-9823"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1348","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-9823","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]]}}}
