Intestinal obstruction from appendiceal abscess in a newborn infant. 1978

E S Golladay, and S Roskes, and L Donner, and J A Haller

Perforated appendix in the newborn period is rare, its symptoms are occult and its outcome is disastrous. Associated mechanical small bowel obstruction as part of the clinical picture is rare indeed. We have treated a premature infant who presented with prolonged intermittent vomiting. Factors contributing to difficulty in diagnosis and to eventual succussful management are discussed.
