성인에서 발생한 멕켈 게실의 생명을 위협하는 출혈에 대한 색전술

Abstract

Hemorrhage from Meckel’s diverticulum is very rare in adults. However, it should not be overlooked as a possible cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, since hemorrhage from Meckel’s diverticulum can be acute and massive. We report a case a 29-year-old man having Meckel’s diverticulum in with life-threatening hemorrhage. This case emphasizes the potential role of transcatheter arterial embolization during the early detection period, and proper management of massive hemorrhage from Meckel's diverticulum.
