Meckel′s diverticulum is congenital abnormality of gastrointestinal tract. It is generally accepted that the radiological demonstration of a Meckel′s diverticulum is not practicable. But when there is associated complications with Meckel′s diverticulum it becomes relatively easy. Abdominal radiograph does not provide any information but USG and CT features are helpful in diagnosing however the single most accurate diagnostic test for a Meckel′s diverticulum is scintigraphy
