[Intrauterine necrosis in closed gastroschisis].
BACKGROUND
Strangulation of the intestine as the result of compression of its blood supply in a tightly closed gastroschisis defect is a very rare occurrence.


METHODS
We present the cases of two newborn patients who had extra-abdominal infarcted bowel and intra-abdominal jejunal atresia due to vascular compression for gastroschisis defect. One was associated with colonic, probably acquired aganglionosis. Both had similar clinical courses.


CONCLUSIONS
This association is very uncommon. Prognosis of this complex is very poor.
