Perspective of Taiwan's experience in the management of meconium peritonitis

Meconium peritonitis, a rare condition with an incidence of 1 in 30,000 births, is an aseptic chemical peritonitis resulting from intrauterine bowel perforation, associated with significant neonatal risk with morbidity and mortality [1]. Based on our search of PubMed (1970 –May 2017; search terms: “meconium peritonitis,” “Taiwan”; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=meconium+peritonitis%2C+Taiwan), there are a few cases of fetal meconium peritonitis available in Taiwan [2–16]. To share the Taiwan's experience in the management of meconium peritonitis , we would like to report one new case and update this topic.
