Abstract
Repeated and persistent displacement forces can lead to acquired abnormalities in the position of the foregut in premature neonates. Cow milk protein intolerance should be considered early as a cause of feed intolerance, recurrent vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms in premature neonates. Upper gastrointestinal contrast study cannot be used to diagnose gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
