Intrauterine fistulation of perforated Meckel's diverticulum to the surface of the sac of an intact exomphalos minor.
The presence of Meckel's diverticulum in the exomphalos sac is a well known entity but the intrauterine perforation of the diverticulum is very rare. We report a case of intrauterine fistulation of Meckel's diverticulum to the surface of the intact sac of an exomphalos minor.
