Find the closest ER to you
If you suspect that your child may have a spontaneous intestinal perforation, or SIP, find the closest emergency room to you so your child can start on the road to improved health.
Spontaneous intestinal perforation – or SIP – refers to when a hole occurs in a baby’s intestine during or soon after fetal development for no known reason. The hole can cause the intestine contents to leak into their abdomen (belly), which can lead to a serious infection known as peritonitis (inflammation of the abdomen lining). SIP is a surgical emergency and once diagnosed, it should be treated as soon as possible.
Signs and symptoms of SIP can include:
If your child shows any signs or symptoms of SIP, you should take them to the closest emergency department.
Experts don’t know what causes SIP.
Babies born at 36 weeks of pregnancy or earlier (“preemies”) or who have a very low birth weight are at an increased risk of being born with SIP.
