[A case of an elderly patient with inverted Meckel's diverticulum with small intestinal bleeding detected using capsule and double-balloon endoscopies].
An 80-year-old man was examined with esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy because of digestive tract hemorrhage;however, no specific cause was found. Small intestinal capsule endoscopy revealed a reddish elevated lesion in the ileum. This lesion was also detected using double-balloon endoscopy as a 5-cm reddish elevated lesion covered with normal villous architecture in the 95-cm part of the Bauhin valve on the oral side. The lesion was laparoscopically resected and diagnosed as inverted Meckel's diverticulum based on pathological examination. This was a rare case where Meckel's diverticulum was inverted, and the lesion was observed using capsule and double-balloon endoscopies before surgery. Although complications of Meckel's diverticulum are rare in the elderly, it is necessary to identify this disease as a cause of small intestinal bleeding, even in elderly patients.
