Figure 4 Double balloon enteroscopy showing the clamped diseased intestinal segment (A) and resected diseased intestinal tract (B). The double-balloon enteroscope was pushed 200 cm into the ileum through anus. Diverticulum was found in the ileum 90-100 cm away from the ileocecal valve, at the opening of which a 1.2 cm × 1.0 cm ulcer was observed. The ulcer had thin covering of lichenoid substance, but no active bleeding. No other abnormalities were found. Meckel’s diverticulum was diagnosed.
