Abstract:
The adult necrotizing enterocolitis (ANEC) is a rare condition, frequently fatal, and characterized by a fulminant symptoms and segmental necrosis of the bowel. The authors performed repeated surgeries and small bowel resections on a patient classified to stage number three on Bell scale due to necrotizing enterocolitis. Pathological examination of the resected bowel showed intestinal necrosis without obstruction of mesenteric vessels. After the fifth operation the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract was reconstructed by an anastomosis between the remained 30 cm of terminal ileum and descending loop of duodenum. Inspite of only 30 cm of small intestines remaining, the patient is able to enjoy life almost completely with gastroenterological control and support.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
