title: [Esophageal perforation in premature newborn infants. Presentation of 8 cases].
abstract: We report eight newborn with esophageal perforation. They were preterm infants and received mechanical ventilation for respiratory problem. Six were associated with pneumothorax, three of they show aberrant way of an orogastric tube, and another three show milk fluid in the pleural tube installed for pneumothorax. The management was fasting during ten days, parenteral nutrition, wide spectrum antibiotics, and prevention of complications; surgery treatment is not the first of all recommended at present.
