The lack of specific symptoms and the variety of the clinical picture determine the difficulties of the timely diagnosis of this state which delays in surgery. For the differential diagnosis of Meckel diverticulum with other inflammatory intestinal diseases, computed tomography remains a key non-invasive method.
Key words: Meckel diverticulum, small intestine diseases, computed tomography.
