Neonatal gastric perforation (PGNN) is a rare and serious pathology when management is not early. We did not find a case published in African literature. . We report 2 cases of PGNN registered in pediatric surgery of C.H.U Gabriel TOURE. The clinical pictures were that of a neonatal occlusion. X-rays of the abdomen without preparation revealed pneumoperitoneum in both cases. Congenital origin was retained for both cases. Surgical treatment consisted of excision-suture of the perforation margins. The operative sequences were simple in both cases.

Objectives: Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) occurs disproportionately among opioid exposed newborns (OENs) compared to those unexposed. The extent that primary caregivers of OENs adhere to SUID-reducing infant care practices is unknown. We examined rates of SUID-reducing practices (smoking cessation, breastfeeding, and safe sleep [supine sleep, room-sharing not bed-sharing, nonuse of soft bedding or objects]) in a pilot sample of caregivers of OENs.
