Although in 1707 Ruysch¹ gave an excellent illustration of a diverticulum of the terminal ileum (fig. 1), it was Lavater,² in 1671, who first observed a case. In 1769, Morgagni³ discussed diverticula of the duodenum, ileum and rectum; he did not believe, however, that those of the ileum had any relation to the vitelline duct.
