Abstract
Haemorrhagic ascites in the newborn is rare. Ascites is the pathological accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity. Various causes of ascites have been described in different age groups. Abdominal paracentesis does provide symptomatic relief and can be used as a diagnostic tool to find the cause of ascites. Here we report one such case of haemorrhagic neonatal ascites in a 37week neonate, where therapeutic paracentesis was done for the gross ascites. Close follow-up is recommended for signs of frozen abdomen and intestinal obstruction.
