Abstract
According to the reported cases, perforation of a peptic ulcer and rupture of the stomach are rare entities in infancy, inasmuch as only 30 such cases have been reported up until the end of 1954.1 Peptic ulceration in infants and children, including perforation, was reviewed by Holt in 1913. Bird, Limper, and Mayer reported233 cases of perforation in a total of 245 cases of peptic ulcer in infants and children from 17 days to 15 years of age. Other summaries are those of Guthrie,3Hollander and Stark,4McAleese and Sieber,5and Hutchins.6The earliest perforated peptic ulcer in infancy to be treated surgically with recovery was that in a 34½-hour-old baby reported by Bird and co-workers.2Lee and Wells described9a perforation of an ulcer in utero and numerous authors have reported perforations of duodenal ulcers in infants in the firstKeywords
