Abstract
We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with segmental necrotizing jejunitis, present a review of the literature including a single previously described North American child, and give evidence to document disease recurrence. This uncommon disease must be differentiated from Crohn disease because the treatment and prognosis are different.
