Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a major contributor to illness and death in newborns. Despite many years of research, there has been little progress in mitigating the effects of this condition. The only consistently identified risk factor for NEC is prematurity, and clinical indicators have not been able to reliably predict which infants are susceptible to the disease. Therefore, it is critical to incorporate specific radiographic findings, known as pathognomonic, to avert severe complications that can result in fatality. This case report sheds light on the typical radiographic characteristics of NEC that must be recognized to facilitate early detection and prevent critical complications.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), also known as hereditary multiple osteochondromas, is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder featuring multiple exostoses (osteochondromas) mostly diagnosed in childhood, they arise near the growth plates of bones such as ribs, pelvis, vertebrae and predominantly long bones. CT and MRI imaging are required to examine anatomically difficult regions such as the pelvis and thorax, and X-rays are additionally helpful in finding associated deformities. In this article and through a case report, we mainly outline the input of imaging in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of such condition
