title: Ultrasonographic diagnosis and laparoscopic surgical treatment of Meckel's diverticulum.
abstract: A two-year-old boy was admitted for melena. Ultrasonography depicted an abnormal intestinal structure in the right iliac fossa and the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum was suggested. Laparoscopic approach confirmed the diagnosis and allowed resection.
