M M Durham et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

This report describes a newborn infant girl who presented with abdominal distension and pneumoperitoneum. At operation, near total necrosis of the stomach was observed. The esophagus was ligated, the stomach resected. The baby was fed by an transpyloric feeding tube. At 8 weeks, an esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed with a Hunt-Lawrence Pouch. A good outcome was achieved.
