Case presentation: We report an interesting and rare case complication of MD in 5 years old children who presented with internal hernia and intestinal volvulus. The type ectopic epithelium that we have identified is an ectopic pancreatic tissue in the histopathology examination of MD resection tissue. Post-operative course, the patient got full recovery. Conclusion: Symptomatic MD can be present as the complication that can be severe emergency cases.
