Abstract
Pyloric atresia (PA)is an uncommon anomaly that may be associated with many other congenital anomalies, the commonest of which is junctional epidermol ysis bullosa (JEB). Most of the cases-of PA associated with JEB (Herlitz sy ndrome) reported have been fatal. A case of PA associated with JEB, malrota tion, and a high anorectal malformation with a rectourethral fistula, which was hitherto undescribed, was successfully managed at our institution.
