The usual manifestations of meconium peritonitis confined to the inguinoscrotal region are soft hydroceles, hard nodules in the scrotum, and, occasionally, calcified nodules in the wall of a hernia sac, with or without calcification on abdominal X-ray. Inguinal hernia is an extremely rare manifestation of healed meconium peritonitis. An unusual presentation of meconium peritonitis encountered during hernia repair is described herein to alert the pediatric surgeon of this possibility to avoid unnecessary abdominal exploration.
局限于腹股沟阴囊区域的胎粪性腹膜炎的常见表现为软性鞘膜积液、阴囊内硬结节，偶尔还有疝囊壁内的钙化结节，腹部X线检查可有或无钙化。腹股沟疝是愈合的胎粪性腹膜炎极其罕见的表现。本文描述了在疝修补术中遇到的胎粪性腹膜炎的一种不寻常表现，以提醒小儿外科医生注意这种可能性，避免不必要的腹部探查。
