Figure 1. A 50-year-old obese man who sustained a closed traumatic injury to the abdomen in a motor vehicle accident was taken to the operating room, where a splenectomy was performed for a splenic laceration. He was also found to have several contusions in the mesentery of the small intestine, including one at the site of a Meckel's diverticulum. No resection was necessary. As with most patients, he had had no symptoms as a result of this diverticulum, and he recovered from surgery uneventfully.
