Abstract
Diverticula, or multiple sacculations, of a Meekel's diverticulum are a relatively
unknown and undocumented pathologic entity. A case is reported, and another case recalled.
In both cases, the sacculations were in the fundus. There was partial or complete
absence of muscular layers in the saccular wall.
A congenital origin of these muscular defects is more likely than is an origin from
acquired hydrostatic pressure.
