Abstract

A case of Meckel's diverticulum is presented with a symptomatic duration of over 30 yr, eventually complicated by megaloblastic anemia. A severe ileal stenosis was associated and probably caused by the diverticulum. Dilatation and stasis in the obstructed ileal loop were the cause of bacterial overgrowth and vitamin B₁₂ deficiency. Resection of the involved ileal segment led to complete clinical and hematological recovery.
