Fig. 99. Meckel's Diverticulum Completely Tying off a Loop of Small Bowel

This specimen was removed by Dr. George A. Stewart at St. Agnes' Hospital, Baltimore, June 9, 1914. The arrows indicate the cut ends of the bowel. The intestinal loop is greatly distended. The pear-shaped cyst is a Meckel's diverticulum. Its extremity is perfectly free, and on its upper surface its blood-vessels stand out prominently. It has in some manner become tied around the gut. (For the key, see Fig. 100.)
