Abstract
A 32-wk-old (gestational age) female infant with epidermolysis bullosa letails (EBL) confirmed by light microscopy and EM had a gastric outlet obstruction on routine roentgenographic examination. Autopsy showed a fibrous cord connecting the stomach and 1st part of the duodenum in the area of the pylorus. A review of the literature indicated 12 additional cases of epidermolysis bullosa (EBL where type was confirmed) associated with pyloric atresia. The possibility of coexistent pyloric atresia should be considered in a newborn who has suspected EBL.
