Abstract
Solitary caecal diverticulae are rare in children and presentation with massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is seldom reported. We present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a two-year history of abdominal pain and multiple inconclusive investigations presenting with a life threating lower GI bleed. We also review the literature surrounding solitary caecal diverticulae and caecal duplication cysts (CDCs).
