Fetal MRI findings of meconium peritonitis in two fetuses with existing cysts. a-b. A 34-week-old fetus received surgical intervention. A coronal T2-weighted image (a, SPAIR) reveals a cystic lesion in the left upper abdomen measuring 2.8 × 2.9 × 1.9 cm in size with a distinct thin border, linear-like incomplete separation and slightly high T2 signal inside. A transverse 1.5-T fetal T2-weighted image (b, TE = 15,000 ms, TE = 120 ms) shows that the bowel loops were pressed and shifted backward and dilated significantly with a diameter of 2.6 cm. c-d. A 27-week-old fetus received conservative treatment. A coronal T2-weighted image (c, SPAIR) shows a pseudocyst measuring 3.3 × 1.3 × 1.6 cm in size with irregular shape and high and slightly low T2 signal mixed inside. A transverse T2-weighted image (d, TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 120 ms) reveals a mild mount of ascites among bowel loops
