Article: [Early spontaneous ileal perforations in preterm infants: report of 4 cases].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An ileal perforation occurred shortly after birth in 4 very premature newborns. Diagnosis was made on an abdominal distension with a pneumoperitoneum on X-ray. There were no biological, radiological nor histological signs of necrotizing enterocolitis. There were no digestive short- or long-term complications. According to the few authors who described this syndrome, there are some risk factors, but they were not clearly involved in our cases. Ileal perforation in the absence of signs of necrotizing enterocolitis is rarely reported but should be well known because of its good prognosis.Archives de Pédiatrie 12/2005; 12(11):1613-6. · 0.30 Impact Factor -
