[Chronic anemia due to Meckel's diverticulum. The diagnostic and therapeutic considerations].
Meckel's diverticulum is a frequent embryologic residual organ. The importance of considering this diagnosis in the young adult presenting chronic hypochromic [correction of hyperchromic] anemia, despite the difficulties of the same, is emphasized. The condition to be satisfied is the complete excision of Meckel's diverticulum, to avoid leaving ectopic mucosa residuals, so we think it useful to resect an ileal sleeve.
