Meckel’s diverticulum represents the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine and is typically asymptomatic. However, it may give rise to acute complications, including bowel obstruction. Volvulus associated with Meckel’s diverticulum is an exceptional occurrence, particularly in adults. We report the case of a 27-year-old male with no prior medical or surgical history, admitted for acute small bowel obstruction. Preoperative imaging failed to identify a definitive etiology, but surgical exploration revealed a small bowel volvulus around a Meckel’s diverticulum. This case highlights the diagnostic limitations of imaging and emphasizes the importance of considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of unexplained bowel obstruction in young adults.
