[Radioisotopic diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum in children].
The serial scintiphotography following intravenous injection of Tc99m-ertechnetate was used for examination of 50 children aged from 11 months to 14 years. The method is founded on the Tc99m-pertechnetate property of selective accumulation in the gastric mucous membrane and in Meckel's diverticulum when the latter contains the ectopic gastric mucous membrane. The inflamed diverticulum can accumulate the radionuclide, as well. Meckel's diverticulum was suspected in 7 children during examination; in 6 of them Meckel's diverticulum was found peroperatively, and in one case there was enterocyst of the ileum.
