Question
What causes neonatal gastric perforation?
Answer
There are many reasons for neonatal gastric perforation, which can be mainly categorized into two types: one is due to underdeveloped gastric walls in the fetus, making the walls too weak and leading to gastric perforation; the other is caused by asphyxia or other diseases that result in stress-induced ulcers in the neonatal stomach, thereby triggering gastric perforation.
