The usual accepted mode of treatment of neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and pneumoperitoneum is surgical. However, in a select group of patients conservative treatment is feasible. Pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis is a rare phenomenon which creates a management problem for the treating surgeon. We present two cases of pneumoperitoneum to discuss the non-surgical management of pneumoperitoneum and describe their outcomes.
坏死性小肠结肠炎（NEC）合并气腹的新生儿，通常公认的治疗方式是手术治疗。然而，在特定的一组患者中，保守治疗是可行的。无腹膜炎的气腹是一种罕见现象，给主治外科医生带来了管理难题。我们展示两例气腹病例，以探讨气腹的非手术管理并描述其结果。
