Abstract
The coexistence of duodenal atresia (DA) may mask the antenatal ultrasound findings of meconium ileus (MI) and delay its postnatal diagnosis. We report a rare case of MI in a newborn infant diagnosed antenatally to have trisomy 21 and DA. The diagnosis of MI was only established intraoperatively after the patient showed persistent signs of intestinal obstruction following the surgical repair of the DA.Entities:
