ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> Meckel\u2019s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract due to persistence of omphalomesentric duct and it can present diagnostic and surgical challenges. The aim of this study is to find out the incidence of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum among the cadavers of Indian origin and to observe its gross and microscopic features.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: <\/strong>The study was carried out on 45 Indian cadavers (38 males & 7 females) in the Department of Anatomy, JNIMS, Imphal, from 2010-2017.The incidence of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum was determined and its gross and histological features were observed.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> Meckel\u2019s diverticulum was observed in 2.22% of the cases. It was 4 cm in length, 2cm in breadth and its tip was free without any connection with the umbilicus. Histologically, the tissue showed features similar to ileum.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> An adequate knowledge of embryological, pathological, radiological and clinical characteristics of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum and so also of its incidence in a particular population is essential for the early and accurate diagnosis and effective surgical management of the complicated cases.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>Meckel\u2019s diverticulum, congenital anomaly, omphalomesentric duct, ileocaecal valve.<\/p>\n
