"may show highly echogenic linear or clumped foci which represent calcification 3-4"
"Complications "
"The aetiology is thought to be the result of a sterile chemical reaction resulting from bowel perforation in utero. The bowel perforates as a result of bowel obstruction, such as an atresia or meconium ileus. Secondary inflammatory response results in the production of fluid (ascites), fibrosis, calcification and sometimes cyst formation. Usually, the perforation seals off and the bowel is intact at birth. Intra-peritoneal meconium usually calcifies, sometimes within 24 hours."
"differentiated from other causes of intra-uterine calcification by its peritoneal distribution"
