Junctional epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia: A case with favourable outcome.
BACKGROUND
Pyloric atresia is a rare but serious condition that can occur with junctional epidermolysis bullosa (PA-JEB). Early recognition is necessary for timely intervention, but prognosis can be serious and mortality is high.


OBJECTIVE
We describe the case of a patient with PA-JEB who not only survived past infancy, but showed improvement in cutaneous blistering as she grew older.


CONCLUSIONS
With early surgical intervention, some patients with PA-JEB can survive and look forward to a favourable prognosis, with improvement of cutaneous blistering by early childhood.
