Lajarrige et al. (1989) described a family in which the grandfather died in the course of surgical intervention for perforated Meckel diverticulum. The father of the proband was operated on at the age of 14 years for perforation of a Meckel diverticulum that contained heterotrophic gastric mucosa. The proband, born in 1980, complained of recurrent abdominal pain that was incompletely relieved by aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. Although scans using technetium 99 were negative, surgery was undertaken because of the family history. A Meckel diverticulum containing mucosa resembling that of the gastric fundus was found.
