“…Intraluminal problems such as meconium plugs and extramural conditions such as volvulus, band or hernia, can also cause obstruction and perforation of the intestinal wall [8]. The underlying causes of meconium peritonitis thus include meconium ileus, intestinal atresia, stenosis, internal hernia, neonatal Hirschsprung's disease, volvulus, intussusception, extrinsic band, and duplication [4,5,9]. Colonic atresia [10], torsion of a fallopian tube cyst [2], perforated duplications [11] and fetus-in-fetu [12] have been reported as rare causes of meconium peritonitis.…”

“…The same inflammatory reaction occurs in these surfaces as in the peritoneum. [1][2][3][4] The usual clinical presentation of meconium peritonitis is intestinal obstruction and meconium ascites. Occasionally, the peritoneal inflammation subsides and no peritoneal irritation signs can be detected.…”

“…Rare cases of pleural cavity involvement through congenital diaphragmatic defects have also been reported. [1][2][3] When considering the inguinoscrotal region separately, a soft meconium hydrocele is the most frequent presentation of meconium peritonitis at birth, which is usually replaced by hard scrotal nodules over the next few weeks. 1,2 Meconium peritonitis may be diagnosed incidentally during elective inguinal surgery through calcified nodules found in the wall of the hernia sac.…”

The usual manifestations of meconium peritonitis confined to the inguinoscrotal region are soft hydroceles, hard nodules in the scrotum, and, occasionally, calcified nodules in the wall of a hernia sac, with or without calcification on abdominal X-ray. Inguinal hernia is an extremely rare manifestation of healed meconium peritonitis. An unusual presentation of meconium peritonitis encountered during hernia repair is described herein to alert the pediatric surgeon of this possibility to avoid unnecessary abdominal exploration.

“…In 10/41 reviewed eases no serotal abnormality was reeognized at birth (2,4,6,12,13,23,29). The age at diagnosis ranges from the 28th week of gestation (14) to 5 years (18,23), most eases are deteeted by 21 months (2,4).…”

ResumenMeconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. It mimics a scrotal mass, and, without knowledge of this rare disease, this may lead to unnecessary surgery. Both the masses and the calcifications have the tendency to resolve spontaneously without compromising the testide. Sonographie features together with an abdominal plain film are diagnostic, and visualization of the normal testide may be helpful in differentiating this tumor-Iike lesion from scrotal tumors. A case of a meconium periorchitis is reported on and the radiological and histological features are discussed with a literature review on the subject.• Key words: Meconium periorchitis -Seroturn -Infant -Ultrasound Resume La periorchite d'origine meconiale est une affection rare associee aJa peritonite meconiale guerie. Elle se presente ala naissance comme une hydrod~le molle qui devient plus dure en quelques semaines comme le meconium se calcifie. Elle peut imiter une tumeur scrotale et I'ignorance de cette affection rare peut aboutir aune operation inutile. Tant la tumeur que la calcification ont I'aptitude a la resolution spontanee sans que les testicules soient affectees. Les aspects ultrasoniques et I'abdomen sans preparation permettent le diagnostic, et la visualisation du testicule normal permet la differentiation de cette affection des tumeurs testiculaires. Nous presentons un cas de periorchite meconiale, precisons les aspects radiologiques et histologiques, et donnons une resurne de la bibliographie. • Mots-des: Periorchite meconiale -Bourse -Enfant -Ultrasons Eur JPediatr Surg 2000; 10: 404-407La periosquitis meconial (POM) es una entidad rara asociada a la peritonitis meconial. La presentacion tipica es un hidroceie blando al nacimiento que se va endreciendo a medida que se calcifica el meconio. Simula una masa escrotal y, si se ignora su existencia, puede conducir a operaciones innecesarias. Tanto la masa como las calcificaciones tienden aresolverse espontaneamente sin compromiso testicular. Las imagenes ecograficas junto a Ja placa simple dei abdomen son diagnosticas y la visualizadon dei testiculo normal puede ser util para diferenciar este falso tumor testicular de los verdaderos. Presentamos un caso de POM y discutimos los aspectos radiolgicos e histologicos aportando una revision de la literatura.• Palabras dave: Periorquitis meconial -Escroto -Nino -Ultrasonidos Zusammenfassung Mekoniumperiorchitis ist eine seltene Begleiterkrankung einer abgeheilten Mekoniumperitonitis. Das typische Erscheinungsbild ist eine weiche Hydrozele, die in einigen Wochen als Folge der Kalzifizierung des Mekoniums härter wird. Sie kann eine skrotale Masse vortäuschen, und so kann, ohne Kenntnis dieser seltenen Erkrankung, eine unnötige Operation angesetzt werden.
