title: [Repeated perforations of the small intestine in muscular agenesis in a newborn infant. Apropos of a case. Review of literature].
abstract: A rare case of intestinal muscular layers agenesis is described. Ten other cases were founded in the literature and are briefly reported. Association of ischemia and congenital abnormality of the muscular layers is probably the cause of the perforation. Prognosis is very bad: all the children with clinical symptoms (occlusion or perforation) died.
