Abstract
We present 5 cases of pyloric atresia associated with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, from 2003 to 2005. Patients underwent laparatomy after stabilization. Four neonates had gastroduodenostomy, and the other had excision of membrane and pyloroplasty. Four survived and one died from fulminant septicemia. Although the association of pyloric atresia with epidermolysis bullosa has been reported to be fatal, our study showed good survival rate.
