Scintigraphic Pattern in Meckel's diverticulum – A Pictorial Cascade Analysis

OBJECTIVES: Meckel's diverticulum, the most common congenital malformation in paediatric patients, usually presents with gastrointestinal bleeding. Nuclear medicine scintigraphy can detect heterotrophic gastric mucosa in Meckel’s diverticula. The aim of these case studies was to highlight the different scintigraphic patterns and presentations of Technetium (Tc) 99m pertechnetate scintigraphy of paediatric patients with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding due to Meckel's diverticulum with a view towards providing guidance in interpretation of variable positive results
