Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) sometimes occurs in term infants with congenital heart disease. This article reports a rare case of a term infant with coarctation of the aorta complex who developed NEC on the 8th day after birth. Spontaneous closure of the ductus arteriosus in the 1st week of life may cause intestinal ischemia and hypoxia with resultant NEC.Entities:
