Core Tip
Core tip: This study describes a case of male patient with bleeding from Meckel’s diverticulum diagnosed with magnetic resonance (MR) enterography of the small intestine. MR enterography of the small intestine has greatly improved the diagnosis rate of Meckel’s diverticulum, particularly in those patients with the disease which can not be confirmed via double-balloon enteroscopy.
