Overview
Meckel's diverticula are usually seen as tubular incompressible blind ending hypoechoic structure with irregular margins. Occasionally it may also be seen as a cyst, raising a different differential diagnosis of intestinal duplication which however is said to have regular margin.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonography in diverticulitis patients show the following:[1][2]
- Abscess formation and gas bubbles may appear.
- Presence of diverticula
- Inflammatory reaction within the diverticulum
- Thickening of the colon segments
- Extradiverticular exudates and fluids.
