Peds-Gastrointestinal - Meckel's Diverticulum
Caption
2 year-old male with history of constipation presented with one episode of painless hematochezia that occurred 1 hour prior to arrival. He had a benign abdominal exam. POCUS revealed a focal fluid collection in the RLQ with a bowel wall appearance containing a hyperechoic focus, most suspicious for a Meckel’s diverticulum with fecalith. Surgical resection and pathology confirmed a Meckel's diverticulum.
