title: [Familial occurence of congenital short bowel (author's transl)].
abstract: We report the clinical and post-mortem findings of an infant with inborn short bowel. One sibling died because of the same malformation. The parents are cousins. This malformation is combined with malrotation, often with pylorus-stenosis too, and can cause an intestinal obstruction syndrome. All presently known cases in the pertinent literature are summarized. The occurence of familial cases suggest a rezessive autosomal disease.
