Question

After 24 hours of birth, a newborn exhibited vomiting symptoms accompanied by a small amount of coffee-colored fluid. The symptoms worsened, and three days later, the child was transferred to a pediatric hospital. After undergoing X-ray and contrast examinations, an initial diagnosis was made of gastroesophageal relaxation and gastric torsion, with suspicion of NEC (newborn acute hemorrhagic enterocolitis). After 8 days of conservative treatment, vomiting still persisted, and the hospital recommended brain CT and lumbar puncture to check for neurological issues. The family was confused about the cause and how to deal with it, and requested an explanation.
