A great variety in presentation was showed, however, the obstructive form in the newborn occurs in approximately 12% of patients and it is defined as a result of its complications. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and represents a diagnostic challenge for surgeons, radiologists and pediatricians. A patient with Meckel's diverticulum, with intestinal obstruction of Octavio de la Concepción and Pedraja Hospital of Holguin was presented in this paper.The postoperative progress was satisfactory.
