title: [Meckel's diverticulum and obstruction of the small intestine in adult patients: report of two cases].
abstract: Meckel's Diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital anomaly of the ileum. However, its clinical manifestations in adult patients are rare. In this paper, we report cases with two different mechanisms of small intestine obstruction due to MD and we discuss diagnosis and management of these symptomatic lesions in adult patients.
