Meckel's diverticulum has varied presentations in children and often becomes a diagnostic challenge. The authors present a 10-year-old boy with abdominal pain and one episode of melena. His symptoms were undervalued during two previous hospitalizations in pediatric units until his hemoglobin level dropped from 8.2 to 3.5 g/dL. The laparoscopic intervention performed in emergency identified a bleeding Meckel's diverticulum that was resected after being exteriorized from the umbilicus. Our observation shows that severe hemorrhage due to a Meckel's diverticulum is possible albeit exceptional.
