Meckel’s diverticulum is an uncommon though well described clinical entity. There are few cases of a Meckel’s diverticulum having been identified as the lead point for adult intussusception. We report the surgical management of a 45-year-old patient with an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum causing distal ileal intussusception after blunt abdominal trauma requiring small bowel resection.
