Calcified meconium and persistent cloaca

Giant cystic meconium peritonitis associated with a cloacal anomaly: case report

“…As urine accumulates in the vagina, a large hydrocolpos could develop. Urine containing a meconium component escapes from hydrocolpos via the fallopian tubes into the peritoneal cavity and causes intrauterine peritonitis [4,5,[11][12][13][14]. In a rare case, Stephenson et al [3] reported a case of MP associated with cloacal malformation and perforated hydrocolpos.…”

Cloaca, Posterior Cloaca and Absent Penis Spectrum

“…The presence of calcifi ed meconium in the abdominal fi lm of a newborn baby with a cloaca [ 44 ] may represent a serious sign. Sometimes the meconium passes through the fallopian tubes into the peritoneal cavity producing severe peritonitis.…”

Increased Amniotic Fluid Volume Associated With Cloacal and Renal Anomalies

“…15 This may occur, apart from intestinal perforation, in cloacal malformations, when meconium spills into the peritoneal cavity through the fallopian tubes. 2,16 As the condition progresses, an inflammatory reaction in the fallopian tubes causes tubal occlusion, hydrometrocolpos, and the progressive disappearance of the ascites. 15 The dilatation of the vaginal cavity further contributed to the upper urinary tract obstruction (hydroureteronephrosis) by direct ureteral compression.…”
