Biliary atresia, malrotation, meconium peritonitis and transient hypothyroidism are occasionally seen in neonatal infants. Biliary atresia associated with malrotation has been reported in some patients with polysplenia syndrome, but biliary atresia associated with meconium peritonitis has only been described by a few investigators. Here we present a case of meconium peritonitis due to malrotation with volvulus, followed by biliary atresia and transient hypothyroidism during early infancy.
