Neonatal Gastric Perforation: A case series

چکیده
Introduction: Gastric perforation in neonates is a rare surgical emergency of uncertain etiology. Case series: We report a case series of three neonates diagnosed with gastric perforations in the first week of life and successfully managed by urgent surgical intervention. All three patients had associated gastrointestinal anomalies contributing to the gastric perforation. Conclusion: Neonatal gastric perforation is extremely rare and is associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential to improve the outcomes. (This page in not part of the published article.)
