Background: Gastric perforation is a rare occurrence in newborns with unknown etiology and risk factors. This study reports a case of acute gastric perforation in a preterm neonate and its risk factors. Case: The patient was a preterm neonate (26 weeks) with NG tube feeding with GI bleeding. The patient underwent abdominal surgery and gastric perforation in the anterior wall was reported. The risk factors for gastric perforation in this neonate were probably prematurity, low birth-weight, N-CPAP, and frequent insertion of NG tube. Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that identification of risk factors and reducing or eliminating them are vital to the prevention of this complication.
