Nectrotizing enterocilitis(NEC), a disease predominant in the premature formula fed infants, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in NICU survivors. The symptoms may vary from apnea, fever, lethargy to abdominal distension, bloody stools, poor feeding and vomiting. The mainstay of treatment is the IV feeds, discontinuation of oral feeds, nasogastric (NG) decompression, possible breathing support and surgery. The objective of this case report is to discuss the presentation, treatment, prognosis and proposed preventative measures of NEC, which can help raise awareness and henceforth improve the management and subsequent prognosis of this disease. Authors present to you the case report of a VLBW (Very Low Birth Weight) premature infant with NEC.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains the most common and serious surgical condition among preterm, very low birth weight neonates with a mortality of 40% to 50% in those requiring surgery. We report perforation secondary to NEC in an extreme preterm, extremely low birth weight neonate with a good outcome due to aggressive surgical management and intensive care.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2016;36(2):201-203.
