dc.description.abstractAim: The aetiology of idiopathic colon perforation in neonates remains unclear. We present, 8 cases with idiopathic colon perforation occurring in the neonatal period and infancy. The aim of presenting these cases is the rarity of disease without definitive etiology and the features of diagnosis and therapy. Method: We reviewed eight patients with idiopathic colon. perforation from January 1996 to October 2002. Clinical data included age, sex, weight, associated problems, day of perforation, location of colon perforation, repair of perforation, fetal complication, morbidity, mortality and survival. Results: All patients were boys. The median age was 39.2 days. Seven of the newborn infants were full-term, while one was premature. The aetiology was established in none of the patients. The site of the perforation was transverse colon in three patients, left colonic flexure in two, and sigmoid colon in three patients. After resection of the perforation area, proximal colostomy was performed in four patients and sigmoid colostomy in four. Two patients died. Postoperative wound infection developed in five patients who survived. Ganglion cells were present in all colonic specimens. Conclucion: The main reason of colonic perforations in newborn is Hirschsprung disease while there is no etiologic reason found in some cases. We found no ganglionic abnormality in any of eight presenting cases. We think the prematurely and sepsis are the important risk factors leading to mortality for this disease.en_US
