Abstract

A full term nomal baby girl who born by C.S. due to C.P.D. had been done well until the age of 5 days when she suddenly developed vomiting & abdominal distension & became not doing well? Immediate abdominal X-ray revealed free air under the both diaphragm without gastric air bubble & air fluid level. Emergency operation was performed under the tentative diagnosis of stomach perforation & found a laceration, 6cm in length in the great curvature. She died 6 hrs after operation. We reported this case with a brief review of literature.
