A Rare Case of Meconium Periorchitis Diagnosed in Utero
Meconium periorchitis is a rare disorder caused by fetal meconium peritonitis, with subsequent passage of meconium into the scrotum via a patent processus vaginalis. To date, clinical significance of meconium periorchitis for the prenatal diagnosis of meconium peritonitis and prediction for postnatal surgery remains to be determined. We present a clinical course of a fetus presenting with mecon...

متن کاملAn atypical case of meconium periorchitis as paratesticular mass in a neonate
A 20-day-old boy was presented with left scrotal swelling, clinically diagnosed as hydrocele. Ultrasonographic findings suggested hydrocele with paratesticular mass. Intraoperatively we found paratesticular mass, separate from left testis.

متن کاملRole of Meconium and Hypoxia in Meconium Aspiration-Induced Lung Injury in Neonatal Rabbits
BACKGROUND We previously showed that meconium causes lung cell death by apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine expression. Whether this is due to meconium exposure itself, or meconium related hypoxia remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To elucidate the effects of meconium, saline, milk, hypoxia and hyperoxia induced lung injury. DESIGN/METHODS We studied 5 groups of rabbit pups: (I) normal saline; (II...
متن کاملProtein in meconium from meconium ileus.
Meconium ileus is the earliest manifestation of cystic fibrosis, and several investigations have been undertaken to determine its cause. In 1952, Buchanan and Rapoport showed that the ash content of abnormal meconium was twice as high as that ofnormal newborns, and that whereas normal meconium consisted of only 7% protein, this rose to 85% in meconium ileus. We here show that the proteins conce...
