Two premature infants with abdominal distension, respiratory distress syndrome, and sepsis were initially diagnosed and treated for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). After failure of conservative measures, a diagnosis of intussusception was contemplated. This pitfall in the management of NEC, with medical treatment and a poor response, has been increasingly reported.
