Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) intestinal stricture is a rare but serious condition that may cause long-term morbidity and affect up to a third of newborns. In the ascending and descending bowels, transverse bowels, the hepatic and splenic flexures, and the sigmoid colon are all frequent sites of stricture. Stricture mostly involves right side of the gut. We hereby report a case of isolated sigmoid stricture after NEC in a male infant.
