Abstract
About 115 cases of gastric perforation have been reported in the world literature from 1943 to 2000. Iatrogenic trauma by vigorous nasogastric or gastric tube placement has been described. Trauma due to stiff nasogastric tube causing gastric perforation in already compromised neonates is not uncommon entity and a high index of suspicion can clinch early diagnosis.
