A Case Report of Pyloric Atresia and Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Unique Co-Occurrence

Pyloric atresia, a rare congenital anomaly, comprises 1 of intestinal atresia cases. It can occur alone or with conditions like epidermolysis bullosa and renal anomalies. Epidermolysis bullosa causes fragile skin and mucous membranes leading to blistering. The case describes a premature baby with low birth weight and epidermolysis bullosa, who developed stomach issues. Radiographs revealed gastric obstruction, prompting pyloric atresia type 1 diagnosis and Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty. Sadly, sepsis caused the baby's death four days post-surgery. This highlights the rarity of combined conditions, the value of specialized care, and the challenges posed by complex congenital anomalies requiring multidisciplinary treatment. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
