title: Junctional epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia: A case with favourable outcome.
abstract: 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.
