title: [Necrotising enterocolitis and pregnancy. One case (author's transl)].
abstract: Having had a case of necrotising enterocolitis which occured on the third day after delivery and which was successfully treated by total colectomy with secondary restoration of bowel continuity, the authors discuss the pathogenicity of this condition. It can be secondary to a haemorragic or a septic obstetrical complication. It may equally be the sequel of a functional paralytic ileus which, although rare, is one of the classical complications following labour and Caesarean operations. In this way it can be compared to those cases of enterocolitis which are secondary to ileus, such as are found in patients who have a tumour of the colon or in patients who have been treated with neuroleptic drugs.
