Herein, we report a case of EB associated with congenital PA. A female baby, weighing 1480\u2005g, was born vaginally to a 31-year-old gravida 7 lady at 33\u2005weeks of gestation. Polyhydramnios was detected on antenatal assessment. The parents were non-consanguineous Saudis with no family history of significant illness. At birth, well-demarcated areas of peeled skin were present over knees, left leg and periumbilical region. Systemic examination revealed no other abnormality. On second day, the patient developed recurrent vomiting and abdominal distension. An abdominal X-ray revealed a single gastric gas bubble suggesting pyloric obstruction. Following gastroduodenostomy, the baby developed severe sepsis with multiorgan dysfunction and expired on 25th day of life. Skin biopsy showed cleavage within lamina lucida.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-201207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,25]],"date-time":"2013-09-25T06:36:30Z","timestamp":1380090990000},"page":"bcr2013201207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Epidermolysis bullosa and congenital pyloric atresia"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Anwar Adil","family":"Mithwani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Armed Forces Hospital, Jubail, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asif","family":"Hashmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Armed Forces Hospital, Jubail, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salman","family":"Adil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Armed Forces Hospital, Jubail, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082802202949000_2013.sep24_1.bcr2013201207.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"931","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2008.02.004","article-title":"The classification of inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB): report of the third international consensus meeting on diagnosis and classification of EB","volume":"2013","author":"Fine","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"2025082802202949000_2013.sep24_1.bcr2013201207.2","unstructured":"Marinkovich MP Bauer EA .
