Spontaneous duodenal perforation in premature infants is rare, often occurring in the third duodenum segment. Early diagnosis, resuscitation, and surgical closure are crucial for improving outcomes in these critical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Gastrointestinal disorders
  • Pediatric gastroenterology

Background:

  • Duodenal perforation in neonates is a rare but serious condition.
  • Perforations in the third part of the duodenum are exceptionally uncommon.
  • Spontaneous gastrointestinal perforations lack an obvious etiology.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of spontaneous perforation in the third part of the duodenum in a premature infant.
  • No clear cause was identified for the perforation in this case.

Findings:

  • Multifactorial etiology is likely in spontaneous duodenal perforations.
  • Early diagnosis, prompt resuscitation, and surgical intervention are vital for reducing high mortality rates.
  • Peritoneocentesis is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool, relieving respiratory distress from pneumoperitoneum.

Implications:

  • Primary surgical closure is the preferred treatment for most duodenal perforations.
  • Improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies can enhance survival rates in neonates with spontaneous duodenal perforation.
