術前MDCT、腹腔鏡による診断、治療が有効であったMeckel憩室炎の一例

Abstract

A 56-years-old-man was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal pain. We found a cystic mass with inflammation 2cm in diameter connected to the small intestine in abdominal MDCT. Laparoscopic surgery was performed after it was diagnosed as Meckel's diverticulitis. With the recent progression in diagnostic imaging and laparoscopic surgery, lesions that had been difficult to detect by imaging in the past have become detectable and be treatable. Diagnosis and treatment of Meckel's diverticulitis with acute abdominal disease is useful for preoperative diagnosis by MDCT and definitive diagnosis and therapy by laparoscopic surgery, and it seems that it will become standard therapy in the future.
