1. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
DISORDERS OF NEWBORN

2. INTRODUCTION
 Meconium plug syndrome refers to a functional
colonic obstruction in a newborn due to an
obstructing meconium plug. It is usually transient
and affects the left colon with meconium plugging
the bowel distal to this segment. In this situation, it
is also termed the small left colon syndrome.

3. MECONIUM PERITONITIS
 Meconium peritonitis refers to rupture of
the bowel prior to birth, resulting in fetal stool
(meconium) escaping into the surrounding space
(peritoneum) leading to inflammation (peritonitis).

4. DIAGNOSIS
 Twenty percent of infants born with meconium
peritonitis will have vomiting and dilated bowels
on x-rays which necessitates surgery.
 Meconium peritonitis is sometimes diagnosed on
prenatal ultrasound where it appears as
calcifications within the peritoneum.

 New born esophageal reflux-P78.83

6.  Necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn classified into
