[Meckel's diverticulum as a cause of massive rectal bleeding].
A fit three months old male baby was admitted in our hospital with a history of massive painless fresh rectal bleeding. Blood transfusion, hemodynamic stabilization and emergency laparotomy were necessary because of the high suspect of Meckel's diverticulum as the cause of bleeding. It is an uncommon case due to the low age of the patient and the severity of clinical presentation.
