AB Necrotizing  enterocolitis  (NEC)  can  occur  in  full-term  newborns  with  existing  medical  conditions.Vomiting  in  a  newborn  should  be  considered  bilious  if  it  shows  a  color  other  than  white.A  newborn  with  vomiting,  especially  bilious  emesis,  should  be  evaluated  for  malrotation  with  midgut  volvulus.Any  patient  who  has  suspicion  of  malrotation  with  midgut  volvulus  should  undergo  an  emergent  upper  GI  contrast  study  with  small  bowel  follow-through.Patients  with  Hirschsprung's  disease  can  present  with  chronic,  progressive  constipation  and  failure  to  thrive.
