ABSTRACT
We describe a case of spontaneous neonatal gastric perforation in a premature infant girl of 27(+1)- week gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome baby. The patient presented within postnatal 36 hours with abdominal distension, respiratory distress, and massive pneumoperitoneum on radiography. Ischemic perforation of the stomach tissues caused by an intrauterine infection from group B streptococcus chorioamnionitis was noted. This is the first report of a spontaneous neonatal gastric perforation caused by group B streptococcus chorioamnionitis in the literature.
