title: Junctional epidermolysis bullosa lethalis with pyloric and anorectal obstruction.
abstract: The authors present a case of epidermolysis bullosa lethalis (EBL) associated with a double obstruction, one at the pyloric and the other in the anorectal region. Both obstructions could be due to separation of the rectal mucosa during intrauterine life followed by adhesive closure of its wall. Both the gastrointestinal lesions could be part of the generalized denudation process involved in EBL.
