Q

What’s meconium ileus? What’s the difference between meconium ileus and meconium plug?

A

Meconium ileus is abnormally thick, impacted meconium in the ileum, usually related to CF
Meconium plug is a functional colonic obstruction in a newborn due to an obstructing meconium plug. It is usually transient and affects the left colon with meconium plugging the bowel distal to this segment. Small left colon syndrome is a subset of meconium plug syndrome (for most purposes is synonymous)
