title: Axial volvulus of Meckel's diverticulum: a rare cause of acute abdominal pain.
abstract: We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with abdominal pain. Because of uncertainty about the diagnosis, a nondiagnostic laparoscopy was performed, necessitating an exploratory laparotomy. A torsed, incarcerated Meckel's diverticulum was discovered and resected. The patient recovered uneventfully.
