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, 2011
Necrotizing 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.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Leukemia

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1973
Necrotizing enterocolitis occurring in leukemia is not well appreciated. In a recent 18-month interval this lesion was found in 12% of leukemia cases in which autopsies were done. A segment of bowel exhibiting necrosis, edema, and hemorrhage were noted in the distal ileum, the cecum, or the ascending colon.

CYTOKINES IN NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS

Shock, 2006
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating intra-abdominal emergency in the newborn period. The disease involves bowel wall inflammation, ischemic necrosis, eventual perforation, and the need for urgent surgical intervention. Unrecognized or left untreated, the neonate can decompensate quickly, often progressing to shock, multisystem organ ...

THE RADIOLOGY OF NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1999
This article reviews the radiology of necrotizing entercolitis (NEC), with an emphasis on the sensitivity and specificity of the typical plain film findings. An approach to radiologic diagnosis is suggested. The more recently described entity of perforation without NEC also is described.
