Abstract
Meconium peritonitis is a form of chemical peritonitis resulting from in utero perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and may occur as early as 24 weeks of fetal life (Heydenrich and Marcus, 1976). The meconium that is spilled into the peritoneal cavity may traverse a patent processus vaginalis into the vaginal cavity and be confused with intrauterine torsion or a testicular tumour.Since Olnick and Hatcher (1953) described the first case of meconium vaginalitis in 1953, approximately 20 cases have been reported.
