title: Meckel's diverticulum: a case report from the University Hospital Center Yaoundé, Cameroon.
abstract: To the best of our knowledge there is no reported case of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in Cameroon. The prevalence of MD in the general population is 2-3 %. The aim of this paper is to recapitulate the role of this pathology in acute abdomens and abdominal pain of uncertain aetiology in young patients and to review the medical literature.
