Meckel diverticulum was diagnosed preoperatively as the cause of recurrent rectal bleeding in a 2-year-old child by means of a sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m scan. Although false-negative scans have been reported to occur in approximately 50 percent of all cases of Meckel diverticulum, the procedure should be considered in any case of unexplained, painless rectal bleeding, especially in pediatric patients.
