    Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) survivors face increased risks of late complications, including colon strictures. This report details three neonates with colon strictures developing weeks after NEC, highlighting diverse presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal surgery
    • Pediatric gastroenterology
    • Gastrointestinal pathology

    Background:

    • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition in neonates.
    • Advances in neonatal care have improved survival rates but increased focus on late complications.
    • Colon strictures are a recognized, albeit less common, long-term sequela of NEC.

    Observation:

    • Three neonates developed colon strictures following an acute episode of NEC.
    • Strictures appeared 3, 4, and 6 weeks post-NEC onset.
    • Observed strictures varied in presentation, including extensive long segments and tight, short constrictions.

    Findings:

    • Colon strictures represent a significant late complication of NEC.
    • The morphology of NEC-induced strictures can mimic other conditions like colonic atresia.

  • Prompt identification of these strictures is crucial for appropriate management.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of NEC-related colon strictures is needed among neonatologists and pediatric surgeons.
    • Diagnostic imaging and endoscopic evaluation are vital for characterizing these strictures.
    • Timely surgical or endoscopic intervention may be required to manage obstructive symptoms and prevent further complications.
