In ileostomized patients in whom a small intestine resection was applied, it is well known that too much stomal water and sodium losses result in secondary hyperaldosteronism.11,12 Case reports in which PHA developed instead of hyperaldosteronism after ileum and colon resection in adults are present in the literature.3,4,13 To the best of our knowledge, patient 8 is the first case in the literature in whom PHA was demonstrated after ileal resection and ileostomy in a newborn with diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis.
