Neonatal Gastric Perforation: A Report of Three Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Gastric perforation in neonates is an unusual, serious and catastrophic condition. Although ischemic, traumatic and spontaneous mechanisms have been proposed for gastric perforation, the exact etiology is not clear. Both early diagnosis and treatment is very important to improve survival. We hereby report three cases of neonatal gastric perforation managed successfully by early resuscitation efforts and prompt laparotomy.
