Overview
Persistence of the vitelline duct due to incomplete involution leads to the formation of Meckel’s diverticula, the most common congenital abnormality of the small intestine.
Causes
- In the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality.
- Persistence of the vitelline duct due to incomplete involution leads to its formation.
