Acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage in a 17-year-old boy was caused by a Meckel's diverticulum 1 day after ingestion of 500 mg acetylsalicylic acid. After conservative treatment of the bleeding, the diverticulum was diagnosed in the free interval by technetium pertechnetate scintigraphy, which showed an accumulation in the right lower quadrant simultaneously with the accumulation in the gastric mucosa. Elective explorative laparoscopy confirmed the diverticulum, and the resection was performed by laparoscopic means. Histology showed gastric-type mucosa in the diverticulum. The treatment of choice for Meckel's diverticulum, when it is diagnosed preoperatively or during laparoscopy, is laparoscopic resection.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
