title: [An unusual case of perforation of Meckel's diverticulum].
abstract: An infrequent case of puncture of Meckel's diverticulum whose aetiopathogenesis was attributed to a segmentary intestinal dyskinetic phenomenon is reported. The pneumoperitoneum consequent on the puncture was not associated with peritonitis and histology showed that the diverticulum did not show either inflammatory phenomena or areas of ectopic mucosa, namely none of the causes which are usually at the origin of Meckel's diverticulum puncture.
