Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Surgery
  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Intrauterine gastric perforation is an extremely rare neonatal surgical emergency.
  • Early diagnosis and prompt management are critical for infant survival.

Observation:

  • A 31-week gestational age female infant presented with abdominal distension, respiratory distress, and pneumoperitoneum at birth.
  • Radiographic imaging confirmed massive pneumoperitoneum, indicative of a gastrointestinal perforation.

Findings:

  • The intrauterine gastric perforation was successfully managed with resuscitation, exploratory celiotomy, and gastrostomy tube placement.
  • This case represents the second documented instance of intrauterine gastric perforation in medical literature.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates with abdominal distension and respiratory distress.
  • Emphasizes the critical role of timely surgical intervention in improving outcomes for neonates with intrauterine gastric perforation.
