Abstract
A case of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum with a positive barium meal examination, selective mesenteric arteriography and99mTc-pertechnetate scanning is presented. Complementary radiologic examinations are needed in the visualization of Meckel's diverticulum due to difficulties in making the correct diagnosis.
