Abstract
The intestinal obstruction by Meckel s diverticulum is caused by an adherence, volvulus or invagination affecting this diverticulum. This is not a very frequent event and our purpose is to describe a case of intestinal obstruction by a bridle formed by Meckel s diverticulum. Clinically, the patient experienced pain in the periumbilical region, abdominal distension and bilious vomits. The exploratory laparotomy evidenced the existence of Meckel s diverticulum without signs of inflammation.
