Spontaneous biliary perforation and necrotizing enterocolitis.
A case of spontaneous bile-duct perforation in a 5-month-old boy with a history of necrotizing enterocolitis in his 1st week of life is reported. To our knowledge, this is the second case reported with such an antecedent, supporting a vascular etiology for some cases of spontaneous biliary perforation.
