“…The cause of this sequence of events is bowel perforation proximal to an obstruction which may be caused by meconium ileus, volvulus, hernia or atresia resulting from ischaemia (Tucker and Izant, 1971). The irritant meconium causes peritonitis which frequently localizes, resulting in the formation of sterile abscesses.…”

“…In previous studies, the plain film findings of MPS were compared to M! [4] and to HD [8]; although, the number of patients and the parameters studied, were small. To our knowledge, the three disorders were never compared at the same time before.…”

Plain film diagnosis in meconium plug syndrome, meconium ileus and neonatal Hirschsprung's disease

Abstract. Abdominal plain films of 133 neonates, with82 cases of meconium plug syndrome (MPS), 27 cases of meconium ileus (MI) and 24 cases of neonatal Hirschsprung's disease (HI)), were reviewed to assess the value of such radiographs for diagnosis. The radiographs were examined according to a list of 11 parameters. By using multivariate discriminant analysis, it appeared that 4 parameters i.e. dilatation of bowel loops, varying loop calibre, fluid levels and colonic gas were most important in discriminating among the three disorders. For each parameter the weight (in points) was derived. To classify patients, three group-scores had to be calculated: the group-score with the largest value indicated the most likely disorder. So in 99 %, 88 % and 63 % of MPS, HD and MI, respectively, an accurate diagnosis could be predicted. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 89 %. Such a diagnosis can be a sound basis for further investigation.
