Inverted Meckel's diverticulum masquerading Crohn disease in the small intestine

We describe a case of Meckel's diverticulum containing ectopic gastric epithelium being the leading point in an ileoileal intussusception. This is usually an acute or subacute condition, but in this case the course was protracted and the case was misdiagnosed and treated as Crohn disease.
