We present the images of a Meckel’s diverticulum by conventional scintigraphy and by single photon emission tomography (SPECT), using the metastable technetium-99 radioisotope (99mTc), in an 8-year-old patient, in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by surgery and histopathology.

Keywords : Meckel diverticulum; scintigraphy; single photon emission tomography; technetium-99.
