Abstract
Emergency operations including suture of the stomach and celiac drainage were performed for a 5-day-old male infant who developed idiopathic gastric rupture. E. coli was detected from the acites and blood, and the infant was diagnosed as general peritonitis associated with septicemia. The life of the baby could be saved by intensive postoperative management. On the 13th postoperative day, inflammation with necrosis of the right spermatic cord and testis as well as perianal abscess occurred, which were sucessfully cured by incision of the scrotum with drainage for the abscess, right orchiectomy, and incision of perianal abscess with drainage.
