Core Tip Giant Meckel diverticulum is an unusual but important diagnostic pitfall in adults with small-bowel obstruction. In this case, computed tomography showed a blind-ending, inflamed tubular structure separate from the cecum, and surgery confirmed a 14-cm ischemic diverticulum, with inflammatory adhesions creating the transition point. The case is notable not only for its size but also because severe symptoms developed in the absence of ectopic mucosa, underscoring the role of stasis, ischemia, and adhesion formation in giant lesions.
