Congenital pyloric atresia (CPA) is a rare disorder that has traditionally been diagnosed in the postnatal period. With improvements in ultrasound technology and increasing use of MRI, CPA is now diagnosed with increasing accuracy in utero. This also allows for identification of concomitant anomalies, which greatly affects infant survival. In addition, antenatal diagnosis of CPA and associated anomalies allow for family counseling and planning of treatment for the perinatal period including early referral to a center with pediatric surgical services. Here, we present a case of CPA with preoperative diagnosis using ultrasound and MRI.

Congenital colonic stenosis (CCS) is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, most commonly presenting in the neonatal period. We present a case of delayed CCS and describe the diagnostic challenges experienced. A 16-week-old female patient presented with persistent failure to thrive associated with signs of intestinal obstruction.

We report a 7-year-old girl born with pyloric atresia but without congenital epidermolysis bullosa or skin fragility. Nail dysplasia developed at age 8 months and throughout childhood she suffered from onycholysis and mild nail hypertrophy. Whole-exome sequencing demonstrated biallelic mutations in alpha6 integrin (ITGA6): p.

Article Synopsis
- - Neonatal surgical emergencies present unique challenges for pediatric anesthesiologists, with high risks associated with each procedure.
- - Common error traps in these surgeries include issues with surgical timing, airway management, maintaining normal body temperature and blood sugar levels, and recognizing physiological differences in neonates.
- - The narrative review aims to help clinicians identify and plan for these error traps, ultimately reducing the chances of adverse events during emergencies.
Grade IV gastric ulceration, pyloric aplasia, and an ectopic duodenal papilla in a 13-year-old Quarter Horse gelding evaluated for recurrent colic.

Article Synopsis
- A 13-year-old Quarter Horse had problems with colic (stomach pain) that didn’t get better even after treatment.
- The vets found serious issues like ulcers in the stomach and an abnormality that let bile leak into the stomach instead of moving to the intestines.
- Unfortunately, after treatment didn’t work, the horse was euthanized, and it was discovered that the horse had a rare birth defect in its stomach and digestive system that can cause these problems.
ITGB4-Related pyloric atresia without epidermolysis in two siblings.

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.
