| Abstract | We report two cases of spontaneous colonic perforation associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) in the neonatal period. Both presented with an acute abdomen soon after birth and required laparotomy and stoma formation. Colonic perforation as an initial presentation of CF is reviewed and management options are discussed. |
