“…The development of meconium vaginalitis occurs only after the prior onset of meconium peritonitis. According to Fries and Talbot (1955), meconium peritonitis is a chemical peritoneal inflammation secondary to an intestinal perforation that spills meconium (formed by desquamated epithelial cells, bile, lipids and mucin) into the peritoneal cavity. Peristaltic activity and meconium must be present for this to occur (Olnick and Hatcher, 1953); thus it is a disease that will have its onset, at the earliest, around the 24th week of gestation.…”

The use of indwelling ureteric stents, either as definitive treatment for obstructive uropathy or as a temporary adjunct to urinary tract surgery, has been increasing in the last few years. We have used it to support renal tract surgery for varying pathological conditions in which post‐operative stricturing, particularly at the vesicoureteric junction, might occur. We have also tried to use such stenting in an attempt to treat a minor degree of obstruction, with a few complications. However, 3 patients have developed calculi associated with their stents.

Sonography of scrotal masses in healed meconium peritonitis

Although sonography is the procedure of choice in evaluating testicular masses in infants, x-ray examination can confirm the diagnosis of healed meconium peritonitis by showing scattered intra-abdominal as well as intrascrotal calcifications. Failure to include an abdominal radiograph early in the evaluation of 2 infants admitted with hard scrotal masses resulted in delayed diagnosis of healed meconium peritonitis. The clinical progression of meconium peritonitis involving the scrotum starts with soft hydroceles at birth and progresses, as the meconium calcifies, to hard "tumor-like" masses at age 4-5 weeks. This paper stresses the sonographic characteristics of meconium peritonitis in the scrotum and the need for confirming radiographs of the abdomen.
