Inverted Meckel diverticulum has been reported as a lead point for intussusception in children. However all cases of isolated inversion of a Meckel diverticulum have involved adults in whom the diagnosis was clinically unexpected. We describe the sonographic appearance of isolated inversion of Meckel diverticulum in a 3‐year‐old boy with acute abdominal symptoms. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2010
