title: [A rare cause of neonatal ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis: aortic coarctation syndrome].
abstract: The authors report a case of necrotizing enterocolitis which appeared in the first hours of life of a full-term neonate without signs of sepsis. This neonate presented with a severe hypoplasia of the horizontal aorta and very tight coarctation responsible for hepatic, renal and mesenteric ischemia. Reports of enterocolitis as a complication of congenital heart disease are rare and related most often to hypoplastic left heart than to coarctation of the aorta.
