We describe a case of spontaneous neonatal gastric perforation in a 27+1-week gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome baby girl. The patient presented within postnatal 36 hours with abdominal distension, respiratory distress, and massive pneumoperitoneum on radiography. As the result of surgery, there was the neonatal ischemic perforation of the stomach tissues caused by an intrauterine infection from group B streptococcus chorioamnionitis. This is the first report of an spontaneous neonatal gastric perforation caused by group B streptococcus chorioamnionitis in the literature.
