ABSTRACT
While bowel obstruction is the most common surgical disorder of the small intestine, small bowel obstruction due to Meckel's diverticulum is a relatively rare occurrence. We encountered a compelling case of small bowel obstruction that turned out to be more complex than anticipated, involving a Meckel's diverticulum with some unforeseen findings. We followed standard guidelines for history-taking, examination, investigations, and management of the intestinal obstruction. After exhausting conservative treatment options, we opted for surgical intervention, and the unexpected cause of the obstruction took us by surprise. This case report highlights an exceedingly rare entity Meckel's diverticulum precipitating uncommon complications.
