title: Perforated Meckel's diverticulum presenting as a hematocele on scrotal sonography.
abstract: Hemorrhage from ectopic gastric mucosa is the most common presenting symptom of Meckel's diverticulum. Diverticular perforation, although rare, is a potentially life-threatening complication. Various imaging modalities can aid in the preoperative detection of Meckel's diverticulum. We report the sonographic findings of a hematocele as the heralding sequela of a perforated Meckel's diverticulum in an 11-month-old boy.
