ABSTRACT: This report describes an unusual presentation of Meckel�SQ�s diverticulum in a 2-day old male neonate. The clinical presentation was small bowel obstruction. Plain abdominal X-ray was suggestive of segmental small bowel dilatation. Laparotomy revealed a greatly distended Meckel�SQ�s diverticulum; the intestine immediately distal to the diverticulum was kinked and trapped in its own anomalous artery. Resection of the distended diverticulum and restoration of bowel continuity was curative. This is a unique presentation of massive dilatation of Meckel�SQ�s diverticulum in a neonate.
