Abstract

The authors report the case of a 24 year old woman presenting with acute lower GI hemorrhage caused by a Meckel's diverticulum. Diagnosis was made by CT-enteroclysis and confirmed at surgery. This new imaging technique will be briefly described and compared to the other more traditional small bowel imaging techniques. The authors will then present the CT-enteroclysis imaging features of this congenital anomaly.
