Meconium ileus is a lower gastrointestinal obstruction syndrome due to the impaction of abnormally thick and sticky meconium in the terminal ileum. It is most often early manifestation of cystic fibrosis. This is a case of surgically proved meconium ileus, whose genetic profile is negative for cystic fibrosis. It is important to differentiate neonatal lower gastrointestinal obstruction and also meconium related disorders due to early treatment and better prognosis. Contrast enhanced fluoroscopic imaging is the primary and indispensable radiologic method for this purpose. We present our case with typical fluoroscopic findings of meconium ileus, along with literature review of other meconium related disorders.

Bilious vomiting in the newborn

Bilious vomiting in a newborn is a sign of bowel obstruction and can present with or without abdominal distention. The more proximal the obstruction is, the less distended the abdomen will be. A thorough physical exam followed by plain abdominal films often gives the diagnosis. Dilated loops of bowel or air fluid levels suggest the diagnosis of obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal or contrast enema study is often necessary to make a diagnosis. The causes of bilious vomiting in the newborn are duodenal, jejunoileal, and colonic atresias, meconium ileus, meconium plug, hypoplastic left colon, necrotizing enterocolitis, Hirschsprung disease and malrotation with midgut volvulus. The latter represents a neonatal emergency and prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent rapid bowel necrosis.

Coexistence of ‘Friemann-Dahl sign’ and ‘Neuhauser’s sign’ in a newborn: A diagnostic dilemma

Friemann-Dahl sign is the radiological appearance of three dense lines in the abdomen converging towards the left iliac fossa. It is caused by the apposing walls of the twisted sigmoid colon (sigmoid volvulus). [1] This appearance is also variously known as the 'omega sign', 'bent inner-tube sign', 'horse-shoe sign', 'convergence sign', or 'coffee-bean sign'. Neuhauser's sign is a soap-bubble like appearance in the right iliac fossa. It is caused by tiny air bubbles entrapped within the viscid meconium of cystic fibrosis. [2] Originally this sign was considered pathognomonic of meconium ileus; but subsequently, it was also reported in necrotizing enterocolitis, Hirschsprung disease, and anal stenosis. [3,4] Concomitance of both the Friemann-Dahl's sign and the Neuhauser's sign in a neonate caused a diagnostic dilemma.
