초록
Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the small intestine that can cause various complications, including obstruction, intussusception, inflammation, hemorrhage, or perforation. Littre hernia is a rare complication that refers to a Meckel’s diverticulum within the hernia sac. This condition is usually asymptomatic and is often discovered incidentally intraoperatively or at autopsy. Therefore, only extremely rare cases of death caused by Littre hernia are described in the literature. We report a rare case of unexpected death secondary to Littre hernia, which was diagnosed at the time of autopsy in a 71-year-old man.
Abstract
Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the small intestine that can cause various complications, including obstruction, intussusception, inflammation, hemorrhage, or perforation. Littre hernia is a rare complication that refers to a Meckel’s diverticulum within the hernia sac. This condition is usually asymptomatic and is often discovered incidentally intraoperatively or at autopsy. Therefore, only extremely rare cases of death caused by Littre hernia are described in the literature. We report a rare case of unexpected death secondary to Littre hernia, which was diagnosed at the time of autopsy in a 71-year-old man.
