Abstract
|
|
|
|
A prospective study of abdominal and chest films of 128 babies without symptoms of intraabdominal disease, aged 1 day-12 weeks, showed that the "bubbly fecal pattern" normally seen in adult and older children is rare in young premature babies in the first two weeks of life. Its presence should suggest the diagnosis of distal bowel disease, especially necrotizing enterocolitis, and demand close clinical and possibly sequential radiological follow-up.
