lethal complications occur abruptly. Case characteristics: A 9-month-old girl with multiple
ileal perforations, leukocoria, ecthyma gangrenosum, hemiplegia and a perforated ulcer in

repair of multiple ileal perforations and multidisciplinary management was provided.
Outcome: On 10th post-operative day, patient succumbed to multiple organ dysfunction
syndrome. Message: Early detection and management of complications of P. aeruginosa
enteric disease is important.
