Abstract :
Pneumatosis intestinalis refers to an accumulation of gas in the bowel wall. It may ocur throughout the gastrointestinal tract but is rarely seen in the stomach. Gastric pneumatosis is primarily a radiological diagnosis. Its origin is not completely understood. In this article, we describe a newborn with nonsurgical gastric pneumatosis associated with necrotizing enterocolitis.
