Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly resulting from incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct. Incidence varies from 0.3%to2.5%. Most patients being asymptomatic, in some cases complications involving a Meckel's diverticulum may obscure the clinical picture. We present a case with a typical presentation as acute appendicitis and small bowel obstruction due to internal herniation of appendix along with small bowel.
