Junctional epidermolysis bullosa and pyloric atresia in two siblings
N. Egan, R. Ward, M. Olmstead and J. G. Marks Jr
Pyloric atresia is a rare disorder that has been seen in association with
epidermolysis bullosa. Two male siblings with pyloric atresia and the
junctional form of epidermolysis bullosa, confirmed by electron microscopy,
are described herein. These cases strengthen the relationship between
junctional epidermolysis bullosa and pyloric atresia, which are probably
transmitted together in an autosomal-recessive pattern.
