💊 The most commonly self-medicated drug is…
A) Pantoprazole (PPI)
B) Ranitidine (H2 Blocker)

🤔 What’s your guess?

🚫 Both are acid reducers—but one’s been pulled from shelves in many countries.
💡 The other is now a go-to for heartburn, gastritis, and “just in case” reflux.

✅ Classic X-ray Signs of NEC in Neonates

🟡 1. Pneumatosis Intestinalis (Pathognomonic)

Description: Gas within the wall of the intestine

Appearance:

“Train-track” or “bubble-like” lucencies within bowel wall

May look like “cobblestone” or “soap bubble” pattern

Most specific sign of NEC

Best seen on: Abdominal X-ray in left lateral decubitus or cross-table lateral view

🟠 2. Portal Venous Gas

Description: Gas in the portal vein travels to the liver

Appearance: Branching radiolucencies over the liver

Significance: Indicates severe disease and bowel wall compromise

🔴 3. Pneumoperitoneum

Description: Free air in peritoneal cavity (bowel perforation)

Appearance:

Football sign (lucent oval collection)

Rigler’s sign (double wall of bowel)

Air under diaphragm (in erect film)

Indicates: Perforation → Surgical emergency

🔵 4. Dilated Loops with Air-Fluid Levels

Non-specific but often early sign

Fixed loop: May suggest localized necrosis

String of pearls sign: Bubbles trapped between valvulae conniventes

🏈 Football Sign in Newborn X-ray

📸 Seen in the X-ray above → a large, oval, radiolucent shadow resembling an American football.
This occurs due to massive pneumoperitoneum (large amount of free air in the peritoneal cavity).

🔍 Key Features:

Football shape lucency outlining the abdominal cavity

Falciform ligament visible as a central line (resembles the “laces” of the football)

Entire abdomen looks distended & lucent

💡 Common Causes in Newborns:

Intestinal perforation (e.g., necrotizing enterocolitis, spontaneous gastric perforation)

Post-surgical or traumatic perforation

🚨 Clinical Relevance:
👉 Football sign = surgical emergency.
Immediate surgical referral is required — delay can be fatal.
