Postoperative Gastric Perforation in a Newborn with Duodenal Atresia

Anko Antabak et al. J Neonatal Surg. .

Abstract

Gastric perforation (GP) in neonates is a rare entity with high mortality. Although the etiology is not completely understood, it mostly occurs in premature neonates on assisted ventilation. Combination of duodenal atresia and gastric perforation is very rare. We present a case duodenal atresia who developed gastric perforation after operetion for duodenal atresia. Analysis of the patient medical record and histology report did not reveal the etiology of the perforation.

Keywords: Duodenal atresia; Gastric perforation; Neonate.
