    (2007-07) Khan, Aarshad Bashir; Bhasin, Sanjay Kumar; Sharma, Sanjay; Digra, Nasib Chand
    We present a 60 year old male who had 3 days history of intestinal obstruction. At the time of presentation there were sings of peritonitis. The patient was operated after proper resuscitation. Per- operative findings were that of distended small bowel with a band (mesodiverticular band ) extending from mesentery across the ileum to Meckel's diverticulum beneath which the herniated loops of ileum were strangulated. Division of the mesodiverticular band, resection of involved gut along with Meckel's diverticulum and end to end anastomosis was done. The patient made an uneventful recovery in the post-operative period.
