Meckel's Diverticulum

Meckel's diverticulum, a photograph of a gastrointestinal tract abnormality (in the adult) due to midgut developmental abnormality. The abnormality is shown as the blind-ended tube lower right of image.

This abnormality is a very common (incidence of 1–2% in the general population) and occurs from the improper closure and reabsorption of the yolk stalk (vitelline duct, omphalomesenteric duct). This transient connection lies between the early midgut region and the yolk sac.


Named after Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781 – 1833) (the younger) a German anatomist who identified the abnormality origin in 1820.

 ICD-11 LB15 Structural developmental anomalies of small intestine - LB15.0 Meckel diverticulum
A congenital abnormality characterized by the outpouching or sac formation in the ileum. It is a remnant of the embryonic yolk sac in which the vitelline duct failed to close. During early gestation, the ompahlomesenteric or vitelline duct connects the fetal yolk sac to the primitive gut. By 7-8 weeks of gestation, this duct is normally completely obliterated. A Meckel diverticulum results when this structure fails to resorb completely.
