    Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital gastrointestinal anomaly, often asymptomatic, with complications occurring in 4%-6% of cases.

  • 2

    The case study presents a rare instance of a 5-month-old infant with necrotic MD and terminal ileal necrosis due to a congenital fibrous band.

  • 3

    Diagnostic challenges arise as MD can mimic other acute abdominal conditions, complicating preoperative diagnosis.

  • 4

    Surgical intervention involved laparoscopic techniques to address intestinal adhesions, abscesses, and resection of the affected MD.

  • 5

    Histopathological analysis post-surgery revealed hemorrhagic infarction in the MD and necrotic tissue in the terminal ileum.
