Inflammatory duodenal necrosis complicating gastroschisis

Dina Fouad et al. J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2016 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Babies with gastroschisis have an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) that can lead to short bowel syndrome, a long-term parenteral nutrition requirement, and its associated complications. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of recurrent duodenal ischemia and necrosis associated with gastroschisis in the absence of NEC totalis.

Keywords: Gastroschisis; necrotizing enterocolitis; short bowel.
