eonatal esogastritis is relatively common and is characterized by the contrast between severity of clinical and endoscopic

features and its usually rapid favorable evolution. The first clinical symptoms can appear very early, sometimes in the

first hours of life. We report on a case of neonatal esogastritis by the antenatal onset of hemorrhage. The mother, primigravida

without significant past medical history, presented at a term of 37 gestational weeks and 5 days for metrorrhagia. An emergency

caesarean delivery was decided for suspicion of acute abruption and fetal distress. The amniotic fluid was dark blood stained.

Placenta was normally inserted without wound nor abruption. Uterus, tubes and ovaries were all intact. The eutophic newborn

had Apgar score of 8 at 1mn and 9 at 5mn despite a double circular cord. Melena coated with red blood was noted from the

first minutes of life and the nasogastric aspiration brought a hematic fluid. Hemodynamic state was stable. There was no other

clinical anomaly besides a transient tachypnoea. Homeostasis exams were normal and so abdominal doppler ultrasound.

Endoscopy done at H60 of life showed a congestive esogastritis. Bleeding stopped after four days of proton pump inhibitor

with stabilization of hemoglobin at 12 g/dl. Enteral feeding was then introduced without incident and treatment continued

for 1 month. Etiopathogenesis of neonatal esogastritis is still poorly understood. Our observation by associating fetal distress

due to circular cord and antenatal digestive bleeding may highlight the importance of fetal distress as an etiological factor in

neonatal esogastritis.
