Abstract

Neonatal gastric perforation (PGNN) is a rare and serious pathology when management is not early. We did not find a case published in African literature. . We report 2 cases of PGNN registered in pediatric surgery of C.H.U Gabriel TOURE. The clinical pictures were that of a neonatal occlusion. X-rays of the abdomen without preparation revealed pneumoperitoneum in both cases. Congenital origin was retained for both cases. Surgical treatment consisted of excision-suture of the perforation margins. The operative sequences were simple in both cases.

La perforation gastrique néonatale (PGNN) est une pathologie rare et grave lorsque la prise en charge n'est pas précoce. Nous n'avons pas trouvé de cas publié dans la littérature africaine. . Nous rapportons 2 cas de PGNN enregistrés en chirurgie pédiatrique du C.H.U Gabriel TOURE. Les tableaux cliniques étaient celui d'une occlusion néonatale. La radiographie de l'abdomen sans préparation a permis de mettre en évidence un pneumopéritoine dans les 2 cas. L'origine congénitale a été retenu pour les 2 cas. Le traitement chirurgical a consisté à une excision-suture des berges des perforations. Les suites opératoires ont été simples dans les 2 cas.
