[Idiopathic perforation of the small intestine in newborn infants. Apropos of 2 cases].
Two cases of spontaneous ileal perforation in neonates have been reported. The diagnosis is often difficult due to the lack of clinical or radiological signs. Other possible etiologies are excluded at laparotomy. Hypotheses concerning the etiology of spontaneous intestinal perforations have been discussed.
