title: [Acute abdomen in children: a continuous challenge. Two cases report: Meckel's diverticulum with small bowel volvolus and internal herniation related to epiploic appendagitis mimicking acute appendicitis].
abstract: Acute abdomen is a continuous clinical challenge in pediatric age. The aim of our study is to describe two pediatric rare cases: the first case is a small bowel volvolus related to Meckel's diverticulum confused with an intestinal intussusception; the second an internal herniation related to epiploic appendagitis with intestinal obstruction mimic acute appendicitis in two years old children. We review the current literature.
