Re: meconium illeus question

[Guest guest]

I had a number of ultrasounds with my pregnancy. At 16 weeks, a normal

ultrasound, not sure what level it would be, showed a marginal ecogenic

bowel. But it was within the acceptable range. Same thing showed up at 24

weeks. But at 32 weeks the bowel was severly distended and they knew that

there was a blockage of some kind. was diagnosed with meconium

ileus at 4 days old and had a sweat test done immediately. He was diagnosed

with CF 1 week later.Luckily, a barium enema cleared the obstruction and

surgery was not needed.
