Abstract

Meconium ileus is a unique manifestation of cystic fibrosis. Different anomalies associated with meconium ileus, conse-quently in cystic fibrosis, were reported but our case was the first reported with congenital hypothyroidism demonstrating signi-ficant conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. There are detailed explanations about the mechanisms of these two entities but we found no possible common pathvvay for these diseases in the evaluation of the literatüre. We suggest that this unique formation may only be coexistence. Congenital hypothyroidism may be evaluated for the patients with cystic fibnosis when conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is detected.
