Non-surgical Management of Neonatal Esophageal Perforation: A Rare Case.

Iatrogenic esophageal perforation in neonates, though rare, is a serious condition with high mortality. It is almost exclusively secondary to invasive instrumentation complications in intensive care settings. Forceful or repeated orogastric (OG) or nasogastric (NG) tube insertion, vigorous suctioning to clear the airway, and trauma during airway intubation are the leading causes.
