Most cases of Meckel's diverticula are asymptomatic, however, some cases presented with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It is often difficult to determine whether Meckel's diverticulum is a source of obscure GI bleeding. Double balloon endoscopy allows endoscopic access to the entire small intestine. The aim of this study was to compare endoscopic findings of three hemorrhagic and two non-hemorrhagic Meckel's diverticula in patients with obscure GI bleeding using this novel technique.
