Intussusception secondary to Meckel's diverticulum detection with Tc-99m monoclonal antibodies to granulocytes (Leukoscan).
A case of Meckel's diverticulum causing intussusception in an 8-year-old boy is presented. The Meckel's diverticulum was detected by using a Tc-99m-labeled antigranulocyte monoclonal antibody MN3 (Leukoscan; Immunomedics, Morris Plains, NJ), which is under clinical evaluation for the detection of atypical appendicitis at the authors' institution. Pathologic evaluation confirmed Meckel's diverticulitis with ileal-ileal intussusception.
