Özet
Aim: Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastric mucosa is usually present in Meckel's diverticulum. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can also be detected in ectopic or heterotopic gastric mucosa. The aim of this study is to investigate Helicobacter pylori colonization in heterotopic gastric mucosa of Meckel's diverticulum in children. Method: A total of 18 cases who had undergone diverticulectomy at childhood were included in the study to search for the presence of H. pylori in Meckel's diverticulum. The paraffin blocks of all the patients were evaluated and stained with Warthin-Starry silver stain. Result: There were 12 male and 6 female patients with a mean age of 4.7. The most common symptom was abdominal pain (12/18). 10 out of 18 Meckel's diverticulum had heterotopic gastric mucosa. In 6 patients abdominal pain and in 4 of 10 patients rectal bleeding was the main symptom. H. pylori was recognized in 3 of 10 cases which contained gastric mucosa. 2 of these 3 patients who were infected with H. pylori had presented with abdominal pain and 1 patient with rectal bleeding. Conclusion: According to our results we suggest that H. pylori doesn't play a role in the development of ulceration and bleeding in Meckel's diverticulum with heterotopic gastric mucosa.
