RESUMEN
A case of meconium peritonitis due to meconium ileus is described. The condition was detected antenatally as fetal ascites on ultrasonography. Plain X-ray of abdomen post-natally showed specks of calcification mainly at the flanks, while on ultrasonography specks of high echogenic areas were seen throughout the abdomen which has been described as "snow-storm sign". The aetiology of meconium ileus is briefly discussed.
