| Popis: | Cyclic neutropenia, a rare blood disorder, may be complicated by spontaneous necrosis of the cecum and ascending colon. We describe one such case, where a staged surgical approach achieved a successful outcome. The importance of recognition of this disorder is stressed, since this allows both performance of appropriate surgery and consultation with hematologic colleagues. |
