MD may coexist as \u201cconcomitant lesions\u201d with various abdominal surgical diseases, increasing the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. This article reports an extremely rare case of a 5-month-old male infant with necrotic Meckel's diverticulitis coexisting terminal ileal necrosis and perforation due to a congenital intraabdominal fibrous band. Through a systematic review of the literature on MD with surgical complications associated with other surgical diseases in the PubMed database from 1982 onward (including a total of 12 cases), this study aims to explore the diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies of this condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2026.1794967","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T05:55:15Z","timestamp":1778651715000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Meckel's diverticulum complicated by a congenital intestinal adhesive band: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yuming","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tingliang","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yewen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoliang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Geng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital","place":["Binzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1097\/MOG.0000000000001085","article-title":"Demystifying Meckel\u2019s diverticulum - a guide for the gastroenterologist","volume":"41","author":"Butler","year":"2025","journal-title":"Curr Opin Gastroenterol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2017.05.014","article-title":"Male predominance in Meckel\u2019s diverticulum: a hyperacidity hypotheses","volume":"104","author":"\u00c7elebi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Med Hypotheses"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e12154","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012154","article-title":"Systematic review of epidemiology, presentation, and management of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum in the 21st century","volume":"97","author":"Hansen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1007\/s11604-016-0530-x","article-title":"Many faces of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum and its complications","volume":"34","author":"Srisajjakul","year":"2016","journal-title":"Jpn J Radiol"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1007\/s11894-019-0742-1","article-title":"The many faces of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum: update on management in incidental and symptomatic patients","volume":"22","author":"Lindeman","year":"2020","journal-title":"Curr Gastroenterol Rep"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1016\/j.epsc.2014.11.018","article-title":"Appendicitis associated with a strangulated littre\u2019s hernia","volume":"3","author":"Quail","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7819-12-358","article-title":"Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumour arising in Meckel\u2019s diverticulum coexisting with colon adenocarcinoma","volume":"12","author":"Katalinic","year":"2014","journal-title":"World J Surg Oncol"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"bcr2015212377","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2015-212377","article-title":"Concurrent perforated Meckel\u2019s diverticulum and intestinal malrotation in an 8-year-old boy","volume":"2015","author":"Taylor","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S83","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-011-0752-y","article-title":"Acute appendicitis and carcinoid tumor in Meckel\u2019s diverticulum.
