Meckel's diverticulum is the most common anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. It is usually asymptomatic, but it can cause rectal bleeding and bowel obstruction in both children and adults. Different investigative methods are used to diagnose Meckel's diverticulum. When a Meckel's diverticulum is suspected to cause rectal bleeding in children, the first choice of examination is the Meckel scan. Angiography is an alternative method in adults. Demonstration of a Meckel's diverticulum using barium meal examination is rare, but enteroclysis has been stated to be the most accurate method in detecting Meckel's diverticulum and other focal abnormalities of the small bowel.
