Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital lesion of the small intestine. The perforation of a Meckel diverticulum is a very rare complication of this malformation and is usually associated with foreign bodies.

We report two cases of peritonitis caused by perforation of a Meckel diverticulum linked to the enclavement of foreign bodies of different natures.

The goal of this work is to educate everyone, but particularly the radiologist doctor and the surgeon, about this incorrectly diagnosed anomaly and to establish precise radiological signals to prevent diagnostic delay and its frequently fatal complications.
