    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Pathology
    • Gastrointestinal Diseases

    Context:

    • Presents a rare case of meconial disease in a premature infant, distinct from cystic fibrosis.
    • Meconial disease is found in 0.08% of perinatal autopsies.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a case of meconial disease leading to intestinal perforation and peritonitis.
    • To highlight the diagnostic value of identifying meconial granulomas.

    Summary:

    • A premature infant experienced fatal meconial peritonitis due to intestinal perforation caused by meconium plug pressure.
    • Histological examination revealed squamous epithelial scales and aseptic meconial granulomas in the intestinal wall.

    Impact:

    • Emphasizes the significance of recognizing meconial granulomas for the differential diagnosis of neonatal enterocolitis.
    • Contributes to understanding rare causes of neonatal intestinal complications.
