Abstract

Neonatal gastric perforation is a rare but potentially fatal pathology; its recurrence is even more infrequent, and there are few reports in the international literature. We present the case of a premature newborn (32 weeks) and low birth weight (1725g) who, on the first day of life, presented a surgically corrected gastric perforation and on the fourth postoperative day was re-operated with a presumed diagnosis of gastric raffia dehiscence, finding a new gastric perforation, which was surgically repaired. On both occasions, the surgical intervention was early. The subsequent evolution and outcome were favorable.

La perforación gástrica neonatal es una patología rara pero potencialmente mortal; su recurrencia es aún más rara, son escasos los reportes en la literatura internacional. Se presenta el caso de una recién nacida prematura (32 semanas) y bajo peso al nacer (1725g) que el primer día de vida presentó una perforación gástrica corregida quirúrgicamente y al cuarto día postoperatorio es reintervenida con presunción diagnóstica de dehiscencia de rafía gástrica, hallándose una nueva perforación gástrica, la cual fue reparada quirúrgicamente. En ambas ocasiones la intervención quirúrgica fue temprana. La evolución posterior y desenlace fueron favorables.
