  14. Laboratory Exam • SFA non specific, non obstructive gas pattern • Meckel's Diverticulum Scintigraphy which showed radioactive activity on the right lower quadrant which may represent ectopic gastric mucosa.

  15. Upon arrival at PICU • s/p Explore Laparotomy, Resection of Meckel’s diverticulum with end to end anastomosis • OR findings: 1.5cm Meckel’s Diverticulum approx 25cm from appendix • Estimated Blood Loss <20cc • s/p 160 PRBC (20cc/kg) • P> NPO • D5NR x 40cc/hr • Cefazolin 250mg/IV (125mkd) • Ranitidine 10mg/IV q8 • Nubain 2mg q6 • Ketorolac 10mg q6

  18. Meckel’s Diverticulum • remnant of the embryonic yolk sac • Embyonal stage: omphalomesenteric duct connects the yolk sac to the gut, nutrition • 5th and 7th wk AOG: duct separates from the intestine • Yolk sac + lining epith similar to stomach • Partial or complete failure of involution of the omphalomesenteric duct results in various residual structures.

  19. Frequency • Occurs in 2–3% of all infants • a 3–6 cm outpouching of the ileum along the antimesenteric border 50–75 cm from the ileocecal valve • 1st 2 years of life, 2.5yo

  20. Manifestations • Intermittent painless rectal bleeding • Stool: brick colored or currant jelly colored. • Bleeding: self-limited, contraction of the splanchnic vessels • r/o acute appendicitis • Diverticulitis can lead to perforation and peritonitis

  21. Diagnosis • Meckel radionuclide scan: IV infusion of technetium-99m pertechnetate: mucus secreting ectopic gastric mucosa : visualization of the Meckel diverticulum • sensitivity enhanced scan : 85% • specificity : 95%. • Other methods of detection: abdominal ultrasound, superior mesenteric angiography, abdominal CT scan, and exploratory laparoscopy.
