Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and is also an important cause of bloody stool and anemia in children. However, there are few data about video capsule endoscopy (VCE) for MD in children. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of VCE for MD in children.
