Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious neonatal gastrointestinal emergency, requires prompt identification and management for better outcomes. This study reviewed 22 infant cases, highlighting key clinical signs and the severity of stage III NEC.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatalogy
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical gastrointestinal emergency in neonatal intensive care units.
  • It disproportionately affects premature infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a clinical perspective on Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
  • To review patient records and identify common manifestations and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 22 infant cases diagnosed with NEC.
  • Data collected over a 9-year period (September 1986 - September 1995).

Main Results:

  • The average gestational age was 32 weeks, with 82% of infants being premature.
  • Common symptoms included abdominal distension (100%), gastric retention (64%), and unstable vital signs (59%).
