The authors present the case of an extremely premature baby affected by severe Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) needing intestinal resection and ileostomy.

An enteric fistula developed 3 days after ostomy closure. The baby was started on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), and 7 days later the fistula output remained constant. Somatostatin (SM) was then given intravenously (3.0 µg/Kg/hr) and the fistula closed on the 3rd day of treatment.

Since SM was introduced in 1986 as an adjunct treatment to TPN in enteric fistulas, the authors believe that theirs is the first report of a successful SM treatment in a premature.
