1 BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
A case of meconium ileus is reported in which a barium enema study with retrograde filling of the ileum demonstrated the inspissated meconium mass. The roentgen appearance is that of an elongated smooth intraluminal filling defect with telescoping of the bowel over it at the site of obstruction in the mid-ileum.
This finding apparently represents a specific roentgen sign of meconium ileus.
