Abstract

Two cases of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum diagnosed by $^{99m}$Technetium-pertechnetate scanning are presented. $^{99m}TC$-pertechnetate was used in the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum by Jewette et al. in 1970 for the first time. The affinity of this isotope for the parietal cell of the gastric mucosa makes it ideal for delineating ectopic gastric tissue. Its noninvasiveness can be used in early screening test for occult gastrointestinal bleeding in pediatric age group.

본 영남대학교 외과학교실 Meckel게실로 인한 출혈을 주소로 입원할 두 경의 환자에서 수술전 $^{99m}TC$-perechnetate의 이용에 의한 성공적 진단을 하고 수술로써 이를 확인 치험하였기에 이에 대한 증례보고와 함께 문헌고찰을 하였다.
