Abstract:
A 10-year-old girl presented with abdominal distension and vomiting due to a jejunojejunal bowel fistula, forming a blind loop. This was related to neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in her first few weeks of life, which was followed by apparently a full recovery. We would like to raise awareness of possible long-term gastrointestinal sequelae in children who have had NEC.
