Abstract

We have experienced a case of congenital pyloric atresia associated with epidermolysis bullosa in a premature newborn who was born at the gestation period of 33＋3 week. She showed a few blisters on left ankle at birth and the easy formation of blisters involving the area of trauma or friction with depigmentation after healing. The histologic finding of the lesion showed junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Abdominal roentgenographic finding on day 2 showed single bubble sign. That suggested pyloric atresia. It was confirmed by upper gasrtointestinal series radiography and corrected by surgery, gastrojejunostomy on day 16. She discharged on day 50. The severity of the formation of blisters decreased but the poor weight agin became the main problem. The brief review of literatures was made.
