Infant with feeding intolerance after recovering from a documented episode of necrotizing enterocolitis

Enema of colonic strictures after necrotizing enterocolitis
AXR (left) shows dilated loops of bowel throughout the abdomen. AP image from an enema (above right) shows narrowing of the colon at the rectosigmoid colon, splenic flexure and cecum. AP image from later in the exam (below right) shows dilated loops of small bowel filled with contrast above the level of the narrowing in the cecum.

The diagnosis was multiple colonic strictures after necrotizing enterocolitis.
