Single-center retrospective study of the diagnostic value of double-balloon enteroscopy in Meckel’s diverticulum with bleeding

Figure 1 Age and sex proportion of 84 Meckel’s diverticulum hemorrhage patients. Incidence was significantly higher in men than in women (P < 0.01).

Figure 2 Appearance of Meckel’s diverticulum by double-balloon enteroscopy. A: Mucosal ridge; B: Blind end of diverticulum; C: Inflammation in the diverticulum; D: Diverticulum varus; E: Ulceration in diverticulum; F: Blind ulcer stenosis; G: Diverticulum varus hyperplasia; H: Edge ulcer of the diverticulum.

Figure 3 Diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by hemorrhage. CT: Computed tomography; DBE: Double-balloon enteroscopy.

Figure 4 Morphological analysis of Meckel’s. diverticulum.P < 0.01 compared with tubular diverticulum, the incidence of cystic Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is higher in MD with hemorrhage.
