Intraabdominal calcifications in the newborn: an unusual case with anorectal malformation and other anomalies

Pediatr Radiol. 1992;22(4):309-10. doi: 10.1007/BF02019875.

Abstract

Intraabdominal calcifications are an unusual radiographic finding in the newborn and can easily be misinterpreted as meconium peritonitis. The authors refer to a patient with anorectal malformation (ARM), intraluminal calcifications and other anomalies. Careful differentiation of the type of intraabdominal calcifications can suggest the possibility of other initially unsuspected anomalies.
