Hepatic derangement following N-Acetylcysteine enemas in an infant with cystic fibrosis.

We discuss an infant with MI secondary to cystic fibrosis, who was managed surgically by a double barrel ileostomy for mid - small bowel atresia and developed severe faecal impaction in the post - operative period. The faecal impaction was treated successfully with oral NAC and 0.2% NAC contrast enemas.
