摘　　要：BACKGROUND Meckel’s diverticulum is a common asymptomatic congenital gastrointestinal anomaly.However,its presentation as an inverted Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication,of which few cases have been reported in the literature.CASE SUMMARY Here,we report the case of a 33-year-old man with iron deficiency anemia without manifestation of gastrointestinal bleeding.An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and total colonoscopy were performed,but no abnormalities were found within the observed area.Finally,a capsule endoscopy was performed and offered us a clue to subsequently confirm the diagnosis of inverted Meckel's diverticulum via computed tomography scan.Laparoscopic intestinal resection surgery was performed.The final pathology report described a Meckel’s diverticulum.CONCLUSION Since inverted Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon disease and its clinical presentation is not specific,it may go undetected by capsule endoscopy.Successful diagnosis and treatment of this disease requires a high index of clinical suspicion.
