AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses 5 cases of pyloric atresia linked to junctional epidermolysis bullosa, treated from 2003 to 2005.
- After stabilization, four neonates underwent gastroduodenostomy, while one had membrane excision and pyloroplasty.
- Out of the five patients, four survived, demonstrating a better survival rate than previously reported for this combination of conditions, despite one patient dying from septicemia.
Article 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.

Article Synopsis
- * Recent studies have linked mutations in the ITGB4 gene to isolated cases of pyloric atresia, particularly in families where multiple siblings are affected.
- * This case study highlights two siblings with pyloric atresia and a specific mutation in the ITGB4 gene, suggesting that this gene may play a role in the condition's development without the presence of epidermolysis bullosa.
