    Figure 2.

    A Meckel diverticulum was observed in the distal ileum. The apex of the diverticulum was tethered to the small bowel mesentery by a mesodiverticular band.

    Figure 3.

    Computed tomography shows the small bowel abnormally localized in the upper left portion of the abdomen. An appreciable thin membrane, denoted by an arrow, surrounds the small bowel, representing the peritoneal encapsulation.
