Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract affecting about 2% of the populations. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common presentation in pediatric and can be massive. The diagnosis of symptomatic MD is often difficult to make. We report on a 7-year-old boy who suffered from recurrent severe GI bleeding. He had normal upper and lower endoscopy and negative Meckel scan. Meckel’s Diverticulum identification was achieved by wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). Keywords: Meckel’s Diverticulum; Gastrointestinal bleeding; Wireless capsule endoscopy
