Department of General Surgery, University of Health Sciences, Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Adana, TUR.

Although Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, its prevalence is approximately 2% in the general population. Most diverticula remain asymptomatic and can be diagnosed with obstruction, perforation, inflammation, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The treatment of complicated MD is surgery, but there is no clear treatment recommendation yet for incidentally detected cases. As in the case we present here, the development of perforation due to Giant Meckel's diverticulitis in an adult female patient is a very rare complication of a disease that can be diagnosed very rarely.
