NEC is an idiopathic intestinal mucosal injury that may progress to transmural bowel necrosis without mesenteric ischemia. NEC usually affects 7‐ to 10‐day‐old neonates following enteral feeding. A 10‐month‐old girl with no history of laparotomy underwent LDLT for acute liver failure. After starting enteral feeding on postoperative day 5, she developed abdominal distention. Diffuse PVG and PI were detected by radiologic modalities. Exploratory laparotomy revealed patchy necrosis of the intestine without perforation. The microscopic findings of a resected specimen revealed transmural coagulative necrosis with multiple small thromboses compatible with neonatal NEC features, and eosinophil infiltration was also observed. Subsequently, after the resumption of enteral feeding with cow's milk, she developed severe diarrhea, the symptoms of which were eliminated after the administration of cow's milk was stopped. These clinical and pathological findings support the speculation that NEC might have been induced by a CMA. Food allergies, which can be induced by immunosuppressive agents, should be considered as a potential cause of NEC in the setting of pediatric liver transplantation.
