TIPIANI RODRIGUEZ, Oswaldo et al. Diagnosis of fetal meconium peritonitis: Case report and review of the literature. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2021, vol.67, n.2, 00015. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v67i2329.

We report the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a case of meconium peritonitis in a 33-week fetus, who was born preterm and the diagnosis was confirmed with ultrasound, radiography and postnatal surgery. The neonate underwent exploratory laparotomy, in which a meconium pseudocyst was debrided, the perforated intestinal area was resected and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. The initial evolution was torpid, but he was finally discharged with good intestinal function.
