Abstract
Meckel's diverticulum is a true diverticulum caused by the incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct during gestation. It is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. Meckel's diverticulum is a rare presentation in adults, especially because symptomatic patients present in early childhood. We present a 57-year-old woman with symptomatic iron deficiency after recent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory use. After normal upper and lower endoscopy, a capsule endoscopy showed an oozing polyp in the distal ileum. The small bowel was surgically resected, and histopathology confirmed Meckel's diverticulum as the cause of her small bowel bleeding. Rare causes such as Meckel's diverticulum should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis for patients with suspected small bowel bleeding.
