Meckel’s diverticulum is a true intestinal diverticulum created by the incomplete obliteration of the vitellointestinal duct. It is commonly associated with the Fibonacci sequence called the "rule of 2s", occurring in two percent of the population, with a peak at two years of age, located two-feet proximal from the ileocecal valve and two inches in length. It can have two types of heterotopic tissues, mainly gastric and occasionally pancreatic, a twice male preponderance and becoming symptomatic in only 2-4% of individuals. While Meckel’s diverticulum range in size from 1-10 cm, cases of giant MD (≥ 5 cm) are relatively rare and associated with more severe forms of the complications, especially for obstruction. We report a 8-year-old male child and 11 years female patient who presented with acute intestinal obstruction due to volvulus secondary to giant meckels diverticulum.
