Multiple intestinal atresia and amyoplasia congenita in four unrelated infants: a new association.
Four unrelated infants with multiple segments of nonduodenal intestinal atresia and amyoplasia congenita are described. The extreme rarity of each of these conditions as a single entity indicates that their concurrent incidence in four separate unrelated patients is of significance with respect to pathogenesis. The nature of the relationship between the two conditions is unknown.
