Diagnóstico prenatal de la peritonitis meconial intraútero

ResumenLa peritonitis meconial aparece solo en uno de cada 30.000 nacimientos. Existen una serie de marcadores ecográficos que nos permitirán realizar el diagnóstico, disminuyendo de este modo la alta morbimortalidad perinatal que presenta esta dolencia. Presentamos un caso de peritonitis meconial fetal diagnosticado intraútero.

Meconium peritonitis develops in only one of every 30,000 live births. Diagnosis can be suspected prenatally, based on ultrasound findings, thus reducing the high morbidity and mortality caused by this entity. We present a case of meconium peritonitis that was diagnosed prenatally.
