Abstract

prenatal
small bowel perforation associated with or without obstructive lesions and malformation, had been reported by Simpson(1938) and other authors. Prenatal ultrasonographic detection of the meconium peritonitis allow the preparation for the proper
management which should be decreased the mortality and morbidity of the neonate.
Recently, a case of meconjum peritonitis diagnosed by ultrasonography at 33 gestational weeks was experienced.
We present this case with a brief review of literature concerned.
