title: [Green amniotic fluid as initial symptom of high intestinal obstruction in infants].
abstract: At the birth of two children the amniotic fluid was green colored. The Apgar scores were good. Because of bilious vomiting and food retention, respectively, an open stomach tube was inserted, out of which bilious stomach contains were drained. The cause of green amniotic fluid was not meconium production or infection with Listeria monocytogenes, but mixing with green bile. At further investigation the children both proved to have a high intestinal obstruction distal of the papilla duodeni major.
