Neonatal Intestinal Perforation Caused by Intestinal Muscularis Defect Associated with Vascular Ectasia
The journal of maternal-fetal & neonatal medicine, v 5(1), pp 18-21
1996
Abstract
We describe a rare case of a viable preterm infant who developed a spontaneous localized perforation of the small bowel caused by a segmental absence of the intestinal musculature and associated with vascular ectasia. The findings may support a causal relationship between absence of the intestinal muscle coat and a vascular network disorder which may be responsible for the gastroenteric defect.
