AbstractNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an acute inflammatory disease of the intestine which primarily affects preterm infants and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal intensive care unit. From a clinical standpoint, and during the early course of the disease, NEC can be difficult to distinguish from other diseases and ...

Necrotizing Enterocolitis of the Neonate
Clinics in Perinatology, 1989Necrotizing enterocolitis is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in the newborn. The syndrome strikes premature infants during the first 2 weeks of life. Abdominal distention, lethargy, and feeding intolerance are early signs of NEC that may progress to gastrointestinal bleeding and hemodynamic instability.

Minerva chirurgica, 1993
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. During the last few years, there was an increase in the incidence of this disease, associated with a better knowledge of NEC, and an increase in survival rate, associated with the development, even from a technological point of view, of neonatal intensive care ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis: An update
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2011Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of death among patients in the neonatal intensive care unit, carrying a mortality rate of 15-30%. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and involves an overreactive response of the immune system to an insult. This leads to increased intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and sepsis.

Recurrent necrotizing enterocolitis
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1993In the decade 1981 to 1991, 16 infants developed recurrent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). They comprised 12 (6%) of 196 neonates referred for further management of NEC and four others referred with major congenital anomalies. Their median gestational age was 32 weeks (range, 27 to 40), median birth weight was 1,260 g (range, 790 to 3,230), and the ...

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis
The British Journal of Radiology, 1973Abstract Twenty-six cases of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis occurring in a teaching hospital in East Africa are reported. The salient clinical features were vomiting, often bilious, abdominal distension, and constipation. The onset was most often in the first week of life but could occur up to three weeks after birth.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infancy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1992The most common gastrointestinal emergency in the newborn is necrotizing enterocolitis. Premature babies are the most likely victims, but it also occurs in full-term infants. Although great strides have been made in elucidating some of the factors responsible for necrotizing enterocolitis, such as intestinal ischemia, bacterial overgrowth, and feeding ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most serious and frequently acquired gastrointestinal disorder in neonates. The pathogenesis of NEC is unknown, but it may result from a disturbance of the delicate balance among gastrointestinal perfusion, enteric organisms, and enteral feeding.

Prevention of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Clinics in Perinatology, 2022Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is considered to be one of the most devastating intestinal diseases seen in neonatal intensive care. Measures to treat NEC are often too late, and we need effective preventative measures to alleviate the burden of this disease.

The Radiology of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Clinics in Perinatology, 1994Imaging of necrotizing enterocolitis is frustrating, with no single imaging test that is both sensitive and specific for the diagnosis. Early, nonspecific findings on plain abdominal films before development of pneumatosis intestinalis is enough evidence in the proper clinical setting to institute medical treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis ...
