Meckel's diverticulum represents a patent omphalomesenteric duct at its junction with the ileum. Although it is a common anomaly, it is often a surgical surprise as the preoperative diagnosis is seldom established. We present an unusual case where the constellation of imaging findings was so typical that we could suggest this diagnosis prospectively and it was subsequently confirmed surgically.
