Abstract
Background: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is usually a simple tubular-shaped diverticulum. Case report: We describe a MD with multiple complex terminal sprouts in a child found incidentally during an appendectomy for appendicitis. The MD was resected, and the child recovered well. Conclusion: MD may show multiple sprouts. There was no additional clinical consequence in this child with the malformed MD.
