An internal ileum hernia was identified twisted around a giant Meckel's diverticulum with a mesodiverticular artery, coursing from the base of the mesentery to the diverticulum. A small bowel segmental resection was performed, containing the diverticulum. Histology revealed a 15-cm long Meckel's diverticulum with no heterotopic mucosa.
