Abstract

Two cases of esophageal perforation in the newborn are reported. The first case underwent surgery after suspected diagnosis of a traumatic perforation of a superior atresic esophageal stump. The second case was treated with supportive therapy. Both cases were cured and discharged in good health. The possible mechanisms of spontaneous and iatrogenic perforation are discussed.
