Investigations reveal that in meconial peritonitis patients the radiological findings constitute a source of diagnosis value, it shows the echography as a diagnosis method of choice with a global sensitivity that fluctuates between the 50 % and 80% and one specificity of 98%. A revision of Literature was carried out to update the subject in the imagenologic diagnosis of the meconial ileus and to present it as of consultation material.Downloads
