an anomalous persistence of a vitelline artery appearing as a fold of mesentery stretching from the cranial mesenteric artery to the antimesenteric side of the intestine, the site of Meckel's diverticulum. The pouch that it forms with the normal mesentery may entrap a loop of intestine and cause obstruction of it.
