Gastric pneumatosis and thickened gastric wall are rare radiological findings that may be indicative of severe gastrointestinal tract ischaemia or necrosis; we report a case with a brief discussion of the literature. The premature neonate conveyed an interesting series of rare X-ray findings which were secondary to extensive gastric, duodenal and proximal jejunal infarction. She was managed palliatively and died.
