Overview

Meckel's diverticulum appears as a tubular, round, blind-ended and inflamed structure in the right lower quadrant or periumbilical region. Mural thickening and contrast material enhancement may be seen in the wall of the diverticulum. It also helps rule out appendicitis in patients, which has a similar presentation.
