Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent anomaly of the small intestine, usually asymptotic. Complications of MD in children are usually bleeding and inflammation. Signs are non specific and diagnostics is prolonged. Scintigraphy is the method for the verification of bleeding from MD. A positive finding is the indication for exploration using laparoscopic or classic approach. In patients with bleeding of the MD, the literature presents, that there is usually gastric mucosa. The authors present patients with bleeding and the microscopic picture of the MD was intestinal mucosa with bleeding.
