Abstract
Gastric diverticulum in newborn infants is the rarest (0.04%) of gastrointestinal
diverticula. Most of them especially in this age group are asymptomatic or
cannot be diagnosed based on examinations and symptoms. However, if
it becomes symptomatic, the symptoms can range from vague abdominal
pain to bleeding, perforation or torsion. The present case report discusses a
preterm newborn with a perforated gastric diverticulum.
