From which of the following embryological structures is Meckel’s Diverticulum derived?
Vitello-intestinal duct
Meckel’s diverticulum
Congenital abnormality resulting in incomplete obliteration of the vitello-intestinal duct
Normally, in the foetus, there is an attachment between the vitello-intestinal duct and the yolk sac. This disappears at 6 weeks gestation.
The tip is free in majority of cases
Associated with enterocystomas, umbilical sinuses, and omphaloileal fistulas
Arterial supply - omphalomesenteric artery.
2% of population, 2 inches long, 2 feet from the ileocaecal valve
Typically lined by ileal mucosa but ectopic gastric mucosa can occur, with the risk of peptic ulceration
Pancreatic and jejunal mucosa can also occur

Astrocytoma - previously medulloblastoma
CNS tumour common locations
Most paediatric CNS tumours are infratentorial
Most adult CNS tumours are supratentorial
Klatskin tumor
A cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the biliary tree) occurring at the confluence of the right and left hepatic bile ducts
