Abstract

Bleeding form the Gastrointestinal tract is very frequent in adult patients, mainly from proximity to the ligament of Treitz. This gastrointestinal bleeding originates mostly from the colon. Also, the bleeding can occur in the small intestine in rare cases. A 25- y-old man present at the emergency room at King Saud Medical City complained because he noticed blood in his stool. The final impression for CT angiogram was a sign of Meckel’s Diverticulum which needed to be confirmed by nuclear medicine scan Tc99m pertechnetate. Tc99m pertechnetate helps diagnose MD noninvasively and has a potential role in the evaluation of Meckel’s Diverticulum even with adult patients.
