Description
During the routine cadaveric dissection a Meckel’s diverticulum was observed which was about 50 cms, proximal
to the ileocaecal junction. The length of the diverticulum was about 7 cm. After exploring the abdomen we observed
intussusceptions at two places; first intussusception was seen at about 30 cms from duodeno-jejunal junction & other one
was 21 cm distal to the first one. Since presence of two intussusceptions along with Meckel’s diverticulum is a rare and
interesting finding, hence this case was considered suitable for discussion.
