Abstract

This article describes a clinical case of management of a pregnant woman with meconium peritonitis of the fetus and further observation and treatment of the child. Meconium peritonitis, being aseptic intrauterine peritonitis, is a serious disease that requires an integrated approach. The tactics in relation to the fetus, intrauterine risks and prognosis of survival in this pathology, as well as the possibility of choosing a method for correcting meconium peritonitis and its complications during pregnancy and after childbirth are discussed. With meconium peritonitis, timely prenatal diagnosis is extremely important, which significantly improves the prognosis and allows prenatally to take measures aimed at stabilizing the condition of the fetus and the pregnant woman. On the example of this clinical case, an assessment was made of the possibility of reducing the risks of life-threatening complications, depending on the clinical course of peritonitis. Due to the appearance of ultrasound criteria of severity (meconium ascites, compression of the chest cavity of the fetus, dropsy and polyhydramnios), it became possible to predict the course of development of meconium peritonitis. The stages of pregnancy, childbirth and the neonatal period are described in detail, as well as the therapeutic and surgical correction of this severe pathology with further early rehabilitation.
