- Abstract
Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCP), a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a disorder of peroxisome metabolism, has been shown to affect multiple organ systems. A neonate presenting with a colonic perforation in the first few hours of life was subsequently diagnosed with RCP. A literature search revealed no previous reports of intestinal perforation associated with RCP. Intestinal perforation should be added to the list of medical complications associated with RCP.
