title: Intraabdominal calcifications in the newborn: an unusual case with anorectal malformation and other anomalies.
abstract: Intraabdominal calcifications are an unusual radiographic finding in the newborn and can easily be misinterpreted as meconium peritonitis. The authors refer to a patient with anorectal malformation (ARM), intraluminal calcifications and other anomalies. Careful differentiation of the type of intraabdominal calcifications can suggest the possibility of other initially unsuspected anomalies.
