Abstract
Strangulated ileal intussusceptions into the Meckel’s diverticulum (which is caused by an incomplete obliteration
of omphalomesentric duct) and coming out through ruptured umbilical hernia is an extremely rare presentation.
A 3- months- old male child presented with low grade fever, refusal to feed and episodes of discomfort often
alternating with long period of sleepiness and lethargy. On abdominal examination loops of intestine were
seen at the site of ruptured umbilical hernia. The abdomen was opened under general anaesthesia by transverse
incision. Proximal ileal intussusception into the Meckel’s diverticulum, which was gangrenous, was noted. A
resection with end to end ileo-ileal anastomosis was undertaken. The prolapsed bowel was replaced back and
double breasting of umbilical defect was done with vicryl 2-0. The patient was completely asymptomatic and
healthy.
