Abstract

BECAUSE of its probable increased incidence there is need to be aware of the fatal-if untreated-condition called necrotizing enterocolitis. With this in mind the clinical and pathological features of ten infants with the condition are presented. The unreliability of radiological signs in diagnosis is stressed; the primary role of shock is supported and the necessity for prompt intervention is emphasised. It is concluded that the condition is not confined to neonates and it is suggested that it is identical to ischaemic colitis in adults. Treatment is discussed.
