Obstruction of
the intestine (ileus) due to overly thick meconium, the
dark sticky stuff that is normally present in the intestine
at birth and, after trypsin and other enzymes from the
pancreas have acted on it, is normally passed in the feces
after birth. Meconium ileus results from a deficiency of
trypsin and other digestive enzymes from the pancreas, as
in cystic fibrosis (fibrocystic disease of the pancreas,
mucoviscidosis).
Common Misspellings: meconium illius, maconium ileus, maconium illius
