title: Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction with meconium ileus at onset.
abstract: Cystic fibrosis is most often the underlying cause of meconium ileus. We describe the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and not with cystic fibrosis, whose initial manifestation was meconium ileus.
