  • Title: Inflammatory polyps after necrotizing enterocolitis.
    Author: Iofel E, Kahn E, Lee TK, Chawla A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2000 Aug; 35(8):1246-7. PubMed ID: 10945704.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in the neonatal period. NEC causes ulceration of the intestinal mucosa and may lead to perforation or a stricture. To the best of the authors' knowledge intestinal inflammatory polyps after NEC have not been described previously. The authors report on a 17-week-old boy with pseudopolyps at the site of a colonic stricture after NEC.
