최근 본원 산부인과에서 산전 초음파검사 결과 태변성 위낭종과 석회화, 양수과다증 등의 소견이 있었던 태변성 복막염 환자를 제왕절개만출술로 분만후 신생아는 2차에 걸친 장문합 수술로 현재 특이 사항없이 성장하고 있는 태변 복막염 1례를 경험하였기에, 문헌고찰과 함 께 보고하는 바이다.

Meconium peritonitis is a chemical or foreign body reaction of the peritoneum resulted from the prenatal small bowel perforation associated with or without obstructive lesions and malformation. Extravasation of sterile meconium into the peritoneal cavity causes an intense peritoneal reaction resulting in characteristic calcification and ascites which might be observed by the prenatal ultrasonographic examination. Prenatal ultrasonographic detection of the meconium preitonitis allows the preparation for the proper management which should reduce the mortality and morbidity of the neonates. Recently, a case of prenatal meconium peritionitis diagnosed by ultrasonography at 38 gestational age weeks was experienced at our department. We represent this case with a brief review of literatures concerned.
