Abstract
A case of Meckel's diverticulum causing intussusception in an 8-year-o ld boy is presented, The Meckel's diverticulum was detected by using a Tc-99m-labeled antigranulocyte monoclonal antibody MN3 (Leukoscan(R); Immunomedics, Morris Plains, NJ), which is under clinical evaluation for the detection of atypical appendicitis at the authors' institution , Pathologic evaluation confirmed Meckel's diveriticulitis with ileal- ileal intussusception.
