dc.description.abstractBackground: Neonatal gastric perforation (NGP) is a rare event and its etiology is still controversial. Although it has previously been described as spontaneous, recently some risk factors have been reported to be associated with the development of NGP including prematurity and nasal ventilation. The purpose of the present paper was to report and discuss etiology, clinical features, and outcome of the authors' NGP cases over a 10 year period. Methods: Charts of five infants with NGP was reviewed in terms of gender, birthweight, gestational age, time of diagnosis, associated disease, site of perforation, type of surgery performed, and clinical outcome. Results: There were three boys and two girls with a mean birthweight and gestational age of 1650 g and 32 weeks, respectively. Three of them were premature. Mean perforation time was day 10 postnatally. Three infants had associated problems including prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome type 1, necrotizing enterocolitis, mechanical ventilator support, and one of them had tracheaesophageal fistula. Mothers of two out of these three infants had chorioamnionitis. One full-term infant received dexamethasone because of brain edema. Only one patient had no associated problem. Perforation occurred in the lesser curvature in three infants and in the greater curvature in two infants. Mortality rate was 60%. Conclusions: Contrary to previous literature, and similar to recent publications, it was found that essentially low-birthweight infants with tracheaesophageal fistula or chorioamnionitis and full-term babies on steroid therapy may have a risk for NGP, suggesting that an infant with contributing factors should be monitored more carefully for the development of NGP.en_US
