title: Meckel stone ileus: a case report.
abstract: Calculus formation is a rare complication of a Meckel's diverticulum. These calculi may cause a mechanical small-bowel obstruction--Meckel stone ileus--an extremely rare mode of presentation of a Meckel's diverticulum. A case in which this has occurred is reported--only the fifth such occasion that this has happened.
