This review outlines common neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies and recommends an efficient imaging algorithm. Plain films and sonography are often sufficient, with fluoroscopy necessary in specific cases for diagnosing infant digestive issues.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology

Context:

  • Neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies require prompt and accurate diagnostic imaging.
  • Imaging protocols must consider the unique physiology and pathologies of neonates and preterm infants.

Purpose:

  • To summarize common causes of neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies.
  • To discuss the indications, performance, and diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities.
  • To propose an efficient imaging algorithm for these critical conditions.

Summary:

  • Conventional plain abdominal radiography and ultrasonography are frequently adequate for diagnosing neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies.
  • Fluoroscopy with contrast administration (e.g., enema) is essential in select cases.

  • Advanced imaging like CT, MRI, and angiography is rarely indicated.

    • Impact:

    • Provides guidance for optimizing diagnostic imaging in neonatal surgical emergencies.
    • Aims to improve diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes in critically ill infants.
    • Supports evidence-based decision-making for selecting appropriate imaging techniques in neonatology.
