[Necrotizing enterocolitis and milk protein intolerance. Four cases (author's transl)]. 1979

L Sann, and C Senaneuch, and M Bethenod

We report four cases of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) with colonic pneumatosis in two cases and the presence of hemorrhagic colitis, colonic stenosis and adhesive peritonitis. Surgical intervention necessary in two cases confirmed the diagnosis of NEC. Milk protein intolerance was diagnosed clinically in all cases. The evolution was satisfactory in all cases with exclusion of milk protein. The association suggests that milk protein intolerance can play a role in the occurence of necrotizing enterocolitis.
