Adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel diverticulum is rare. We report a 39-year-old Turkish man with intussusception due to Meckel diverticulitis. Ileoileal intussusception was suggested by computed tomography. Exploration revealed ileoileal intussusception with Meckel diverticulum. A diverticulectomy with small bowel resection was performed.
