Abstract

Intussusception and Meckel's diverticulum are very rare disorders in intrauterine or neonatal periods, which are causes of intestinal obstruction. We experienced a case of intussusception due to Meckel's diverticulum which caused intestinal obstruction in the neonate who had bilious vomiting a few hours after birth. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

신생아에서 멕켈게실에 의한 장중첩증으로 장폐쇄를 유발한 경우는 매우 드물다. 신생아기에 장폐쇄의 원인으로 장중첩증은 장폐쇄의 원인 중 단지 3%, 멕켈게실은 0.3% 정도만이 보고되었다. 저자들은 출생 수시간 후부터 담즙성 구토를 보인 신생아에서 복부 초음파, 대장소영술 및 복부 전산화단층촬영상에서도 확진하지 못하고 시험적 개복술을 시행하여 비로소 확인된 태생기에 발생한 멕켈게실에 의한 장중첩증 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
