title: Pneumatosis of the bladder wall associated with necrotizing enterocolitis.
abstract: 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.
