Pneumatosis of the bladder wall associated with necrotizing enterocolitis.
Increasing use of sonography for imaging the abdomen of neonates has brought greater recognition of its value in diagnosing and monitoring complications of necrotizing enterocolitis. We describe a case in which pneumatosis of the bladder wall was visualized by sonography in a neonate with Down syndrome and necrotizing enterocolitis.
