A family history of cystic fibrosis was present in six children. Twenty-five neonates had uncomplicated meconium ileus due to inspissated meconium within the terminal ileum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Intestinal obstruction is the most common surgical emergency in the neonatal period and a frequent cause for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit5,6. [imj.ie]

  Abstract Meconium ileus, rare in Malaysia, accounts for 3.7% of all neonatal intestinal obstructions (excluding imperforate anus) seen in the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, from 1980-1990. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This site is intended for healthcare professionals General Practice Notebook Meconium ileus is a cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction caused by inspisated meconium. It is a neonatal manifestation about 10% of infants with cystic fibrosis. [gpnotebook.co.uk]

• Surgical Procedure

  None required a second surgical procedure. CF was confirmed in all, and in each case, both parents were found to be genetic carriers of a mutational form of CF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In some severe cases, surgical procedures may be needed. Testing for cystic fibrosis may be performed after a diagnosis of meconium ileus is made. Testing for cystic fibrosis may be performed after a diagnosis of meconium ileus is made. [wise-geek.com]

• Pain

  In this paper we report of our experience with a 29-year-old male with a long-standing history of cystic fibrosis and recurrent abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The syndrome is usually one of subacute abdominal pain, restlessness and straining, and a positive finding on rectal examination. Occasional cases show severe pain and tympany of the large intestine. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  After a few days, acetaminophen (TYLENOL) should relieve her pain. Your child will also receive antibiotics after surgery to prevent infection. [chop.edu]

• Fever

  Your child will be ready to go home when her incisions are healing nicely, she doesn't have a fever, and is able to drink, urinate and have a bowel movement. This is usually in one to two weeks. [chop.edu]

  Symptoms in someone with cystic fibrosis include:• Fever• Increased shortness of breath• Sinus pain or pressure caused by infection or polyps 38. [slideshare.net]

  Fever. Shock. Diagnosis and Tests How is meconium ileus diagnosed? Diagnosis of meconium ileus can sometimes take place before birth. Your healthcare provider may see signs of a blockage on a prenatal ultrasound. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  This happens when part of the bowel ruptures, leading to fever and increased abdominal pain. These symptoms are a dangerous condition that requires surgery. [abanhospital.ir]

• Falling

  The thin tapes over the incision (called STERI-STRIPS) will fall off on their own. Your child can have a tub bath one week after surgery. [chop.edu]

  Rectal distention inhibits the internal anal sphincter, resulting in a fall in anal canal pressure. FIGURE 2A. [aafp.org]

  Meconium had been thought to be sterile until researchers found bacterial communities in it so developed that they seemed to fall into two categories. [en.wikipedia.org]

  If ganglion cells are present, a fall in anal pressure is seen. In Hirschsprung disease there is absent rectosphincteric reflex. Use of this test is difficult to perform and time-consuming, and requires patience in neonates. [accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com]

• Intestinal Perforation

  Complications such as atresia, perforation, and meconium peritonitis may necessitate bowel resection, intestinal anastomosis, and ileostomy. [patientcareonline.com]

  (Usually when the intestine is perforated, the surgeon must remove that segment.) [seattlechildrens.org]

  Taking these findings into account, a complete resection of the mass, a release of intestinal adhesions and a suture of the intestinal perforation, in a transverse direction, were made. [revistas.unal.edu.co]

  Late perforations, usually occurring 12–48 hours after the enema, may be due to direct injury to the bowel mucosa by the contrast medium, severe bowel distention by fluid osmotically drawn into the intestine, or extensive bowel necrosis. [intechopen.com]
