Abstract
We describe a case of a 5-year-old boy with a history of intermittent melena underwent TcO4 scintigraphy. On dynamic images, no abnormal activity was noted. After voiding and also in the lateral view, the focus of activity was noted in the superior and anterior aspect of the urinary bladder, compatible with a Meckel's diverticulum, which was confirmed pathologically as well.
