ABSTRACT
Neonatal gastric perforation is a rare but fatal disease, occurred mainly in preterm infants. In general, primary surgical repair is the main treatment. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only one report of improvement of gastric perforation in neonates after percutaneous peritoneal drainage alone. We describe a case of gastric perforation in a premature extremely low-birth-weight infant girl of 25(+4) weeks gestational age. We present this case to emphasize that gastric perforation may improve with percutaneous peritoneal drainage.
