Atresie Und Obliteration of the Small Bowel in Cases of Necrotizing Enterocolitis1

As a result of necrotizing enterocolitis, one patient developed multiple obliterations of jejunum and ileum, partly over long stretches of bowel. In a second case of a neonate with enterocolitis necroticans, an ileum atresia formed in the second and third weeks of life, completely interrupting the continuity of the intestine. In the literature, we could only find one report comparable with each case.
